WASHINGTON (Reuters), Despite the commotion in Congress between U.S. Democrats over climate change funding, Jamie Raskin of Democratic Representative predicts that there will be a compromise within months. This could lead to President Joe Biden signing into law.

Raskin indicated that he and the other liberals would be open to compromises on how such a package should look, but he did not give any details about what these compromises could be.

Raskin stated that “we should cut the deals we need to cut” while also “trying to create as large of a coalition possible.”

Raskin, a leading liberal figure in the House of Representatives spoke Thursday with Reuters and Climate One radio programs, as well as The Guardian newspaper.

The federal investment bill, which contained half a trillion dollars for cutting carbon fuel emissions and was being worked on by the Federal Investment Bill of $1.75 Trillion fell apart after conservative Democratic Senator Joe Manchin resigned.

There are signs that a “Build Back better” bill is being drafted, and Biden’s Democrats hope to win legislative victories on climate change ahead of the November congressional elections.

Raskin expressed disappointment that “Build Back better” will not go as planned, however, major portions of the plan, such as the $550billion investment in clean and renewable energy, will be brought to the House of Representatives.

Provisions were made in the original package “Build back Better” to cut emissions from U.S. transportation and power sectors, which together contribute about half of U.S. greenhouse gasses. These provisions might include incentives to adopt renewable energy, electric cars or carbon capture technology.

To pass even a reduced version of the bill, it would be likely that every Democrat from the Senate support it. This is because the Senate is evenly divided between Republican-Democratic parties. However, Vice President Kamala Harris, a Democrat holds the power for tiebreaking votes in order to win victories for her party.

Raskin’s optimistic outlook is not a guarantee and negotiations may still fail. Manchin is the only hope of passing any legislation since no Republican member has endorsed it to date.

Congressional leaders will be keeping a close eye also on another conservative Democrat, Senator Kyrsten Sinema, who has raised objections in the past to parts of Biden’s domestic investment initiative.

Manchin recently indicated that he was open to supporting a plan which makes climate change investments. This would be paid for with increased tax revenues as well as lower prescription drug costs.

Recently, some Democratic legislative aides expressed their confidence in the possibility that legislators might come together to create a new climate change law.

Raskin’s remarks were part of a broader conversation with reporters on U.S. climate policy and the democratic process – two topics in focus as Biden struggles to make good on pledges to cut planet-warming emissions.
