The Biden administration's Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 budget proposals will not be released until May 28, according to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), one day later than had been previously signaled.
The budget release will be looked to for more details on the Biden tax and spending plans for FY 2022, including the $4 trillion the administration has proposed for infrastructure and social spending.
And it will allow lawmakers on the Hill to really dig into the government funding issues ahead via the annual appropriations measures.
And the situation will also factor into the efforts by Democrats to push through a budget resolution that will allow the use of budget reconciliation to bypass Senate rules that normally require 60 votes to get things like the $4 trillion in spending envisioned in the infrastructure and social plans.
