Progressive vs. Moderate Democrats

Senate Republicans and the House are not voting for the infrastructure plan, leading to a battle between progressive and moderate Democrats. Joe Manchin opposes the $3.5 trillion plan, while Bernie Sanders threatens to block the $1.1 trillion infrastructure bill. President Biden and the Democratic caucus are not accepting Manchin's proposed $1.5 trillion compromise. The infighting within the Democratic Party highlights the radical shift of the progressive wing.
