Infrastructure bill shouldn’t be held hostage by Dems – McConnell
United States Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (pictured right) urged on Monday US President Joe Biden to get Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to follow his lead and “delink” the bipartisan infrastructure plan and the Democrat-only “human infrastructure” plan.
McConnell issued a statement noting that Biden’s veto threat “walk-back” will remain “a hollow gesture” if not followed with similar actions by Pelosi and Schumer.
“Republicans have been negotiating in bipartisan good faith to meet the real infrastructure needs of our nation. The President cannot let congressional Democrats hold a bipartisan bill hostage over a separate and partisan process,” the Republican concluded.
