The decision to exclude the IRS provision from the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill comes as senators and the White House are trying to negotiate the final details of the package ahead of a key procedural vote planned for Wednesday. Portman said that there was Republican "pushback" against the IRS proposal after the party learned that Democrats were also planning to add a bigger IRS enforcement proposal into the separate reconciliation spending bill. Democrats hope to pass the reconciliation bill without Republican support under budget rules that allow them to proceed with just a simple majority, which would require them to use the tie breaking vote of Vice President Kamala Harris.
He told Fox News Sunday that the deal could proceed alongside Democrats' larger reconciliation bill if the right revenue measures to pay for it could be found.
