Washington is taking infrastructure seriously. But with sweeping infrastructure proposals comes corporate tax hikes to pay for those innovations; and Democrats have found themselves with a difficult road to gain support for President Biden's $2 trillion plan. This week, Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough, approved the use of budget reconciliation for Democrats to pass potential infrastructure legislation with a simple majority, though a provision will still require all 50 Democrats in the Senate to be on board with this proposal. FOX News Congressional Correspondent, Chad Pergram, lays out the hurdles Democrats face as they attempt to pass long-awaited infrastructure legislation.
