Graham tells Biden ‘get on the phone’ to Schumer, postpone infrastructure test vote

Sen. Lindsey Graham accused Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer Monday of trying to thwart ongoing negotiations over a bipartisan infrastructure bill by scheduling an initial test vote before the measure’s text has been finalized.

“We’re not going to proceed to a bill that’s not written, because that makes no sense,” Graham told Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle”. Earlier Monday, Schumer filed cloture on a motion to proceed to debate on the $1.2 trillion package, the details of which are still being hammered out by a group of senators from both parties. One of the lead negotiators, Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) has accused Schumer of setting an “arbitrary deadline” of Wednesday to finish writing the bill.
