GOP hopes spending traps derail Biden agenda
Senate Republicans are hoping they successfully laid spending traps that will scuttle, or significantly water down, President Biden's $3.5 trillion package.
Republicans, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.), believe that by passing a roughly $1 trillion bipartisan bill through the Senate, they've made it harder for Democrats to rally behind the larger package without at least making changes that lower the overall price tag.
And they are publicly rooting for, and raising pressure on, moderates in both chambers who have signaled unease about the size of the Democratic-only package.
"I'm praying for Joe Manchin [D-W.Va.] and Kyrsten Sinema [D-Ariz.], the two Democratic senators that seem to have some resistance to all this. I pray for their good health and wise judgement every night. I recommend you do the same," McConnell said during a stop in Kentucky.

How about praying for the health and well being of your constituents McTurdhole? Kentucky is one of the poorest states in the union.
