(The Center Square) â The collapse of negotiations between the White House and Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.V., on an infrastructure deal raised concerns that President Joe Bidenâs proposed tax increases could regain footing, but lawmakers Wednesday indicated that likely wouldnât be the case. We re not raising taxes, U.S. Sen. Romney, R-Utah, told reporters. We re going to be talking to other members to see if this can get enough support for this to have the necessary votes to be successful.
Republicans have been negotiating with the White House for weeks, largely led by Capito, who made clear that raising the corporate tax rate, as Biden has proposed, would be out of the question.

“As members of the bipartisan, bicameral ‘908’ Coalition,’ we urge the president to sign the COVID relief package,” the legislators said in a statement issued Christmas Eve. “The legislation would bring desperately need help to struggling families, unemployed workers, hard-hit small businesses, an overburdened health care system, stressed schools and so many others.
