AOC says progressives will 'tank' infrastructure bill without bold climate change provisions
Fox News
U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Thursday that progressives will "tank" the bipartisan infrastructure bill if Democrats don't also pass a spending package that includes provisions on climate change, jobs and other liberal priorities.
In a late-night announcement Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said the Budget Committee had reached an agreement to allot $3.5 trillion for the spending package that would complete President Biden’s infrastructure plan. The congresswoman called the reconciliation package earlier this week an "enormous victory." "This bill is absolutely a progressive victory," she said, according to NY1 in New York City. "If it wasn't for progressives in the House, we probably would be stuck with that tiny, pathetic bipartisan bill alone."More Related News
