Road- and bridge-building legislation has a long history of support from both parties as lawmakers aim to deliver on projects back home. But Republicans disagree with Biden’s focus on the environment and the possibility of financing any program with debt after the government borrowed heavily to address the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic.
The White House originally planned to come out with a plan in February, but more recently hasn’t committed to a timeline. A rollout is likely to slide into April as the administration embarks on a nationwide push over the coming weeks to sell Americans on the benefits of the COVID-19 relief bill. But work on passing infrastructure legislation in a Senate split 50-50 with Vice President Kamala Harris providing a tiebreaking vote will probably prove more difficult. Moderate Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., recently made clear he will block infrastructure legislation if Republicans aren’t included.
“What did the House do? They replaced our highway bill with the Green New Deal,” Barrasso said. “So they ignored what we have done in a bipartisan way. If they would take the model that we came up with in the committee in the Senate for highway and transportation, I think that’s a very good start. I talked with the secretary of transportation, Pete Buttigieg, about it, and I think that is the model on which we should move forward on transportation and infrastructure.
She's gonna claim that the Dems are fighting tooth and nail for a full infrastructure overhaul and then cut the bill down significantly to appease the GOP who won't vote for it anyway. 👏👏👏 So brave
Hello? Nothing but banning a woman’s right to her body will attract them.
Hey, as long as it is passed for the benifit of Republican & Democrat voters ... Republican congressmen can go soak their heads.
Biden Impeachment is all Republicans want as they’re waiting for results on Hunter’s laptop investigation.
The Republicans are the party of not only no, but HELL NO!
Infrastructure is definitely an issue that affects everyone.
They will take credit like that congresswoman in Florida. She didn’t even vote for it but claims we passed the bill.. not one republican did, but they are quick to stake claim.
I've been investing with clawleach apparently over 2months and I can tell you that It's worth trying If you're new to trading. clawleach is a God sent to help you out.
It won't.
I thought the gophypocrites were all about jobs! We will see, won’t me. I bet they will oppose it, although this is how ewe need to rebuild the economy and get employment back to pre-Trump levels, which pays down the debt far better than tax handouts for the rich!
First, implore Senate colleagues to get rid of the filibuster.
The next piece should be on vetting those who want to run for POTUS. That by law they have to release their tax’s and omit any with bankruptcy or unpaid taxes.

WHO CARES... MOVE ON & GET IT DONE!!! THAT'S WHY JOE BIDEN WAS ELECTED; TO GET THINGS DONE THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE & COMMUNITIES NEED TO HAPPEN !!!
Who gives a fuck what republicans want. The last two republican presidents have left office with the economy is absolute ruins. I understand why the Jesus freaks follow them, but why on earth businesses continue to support them is beyond me.
👇🏻
Who cares? You have the votes, get it done. Republicans seem to have zero interest in bipartisan legislation regardless of how watered down it is, so don’t worry about their votes.
Better hurry up, he's 79.
The Dem's could propose doing away with Hell and the Rep's would object.
When it comes to infrastructure China is and continues to destroy.the United States.....This has been on the books for action since 2009...It ain’t gonna happen....
Absolutely nothing so stop worrying about them. They’re not your fiends. Won’t ever be.
I’m guessing the same agenda items of Trumps that caught your attention !
The military junta is cutting off all internet and mobile communications in Myanmar, except FTTH which most of the general public doesn't have access to. Military junta seem to block the evidence of their crimes against the people. Please save Myanmar😭
Focus on this and get this passed! This has dragged out too long. This is just common sense! SenateDems AOC JoeBiden SenSchumer KamalaHarris
There is no such thing as republican backing.
We love you Nancy go girl no more Republicans do what you got to do we with you all the
Road/Highway/Bridge & Railway infrastructure is important but we must include IMO power grid infrastructure/security in this as well. We would be failing future generation if we did/do not.
Will someone please tackle this woman.
At this point - who cares! Full speed ahead!
Be prepared for this. Just vote for the bill. You can read it later.
Remember when the media kept repeating the lie ALL thru trump's admin that infrastructure was an area of bipartisanship? That has NEVER EVER been the case.
Newsflash: it won’t. They only want Biden to fail. Just get the job done without them. Normal people care about results, not how much “bipartisanship” there was.
Short answer: it won’t.
Yeah no one cares about gop backing
Wait. Under the FormerGuy, wasn't every week: Infrastructure Week? Did they think it would all happen at no cost to anyone? Did they think their favorite fascist would be paying for it by himself, you know, out of his billions? 🙄
I thought health care would be top of the list I guess we are stuck with what's left of the (not so) affordable health care act
spoiler alert: no
Hey TeamPelosi - how do you expect to pass an infrastructure package with a squad of useless Republican white trash cultists? AbolishTheFilibusterNow so you can get the work done for the people. Stop feeding your corp donors, cc: SpeakerPelosi
It's up to them 😏
I think Nancy knows there will be no Republican backing.
Huh. 'No Republican support'
Just lead and forget all about that party that doesn’t even believe in a functioning US government to begin with.
Nothing has yet, so just do your shit, assuming they won't like whatever it is
You know it will be very bad for the people. Pelosi has real problems with our Constitutional rights. She doesn't like them & wants to tell the people what to think & believe.
During the presidential campaign, Biden proposed $2 trillion in “accelerated” investments to shift to cleaner energy, build half a million electric vehicle charging stations, support public transit and repair roads and bridges.
