Portman slams Pelosi's threat to withhold infrastructure bill until Senate passes larger package

Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, appeared on ABC's "This Week" Sunday to talk about the bipartisan infrastructure bill.

If House Speaker Nancy Pelosi holds off voting on the bipartisan infrastructure bill until a larger bill is passed through reconciliation by the Senate, the Democrats could end up with nothing, Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, said Sunday. Pelosi, in a separate interview earlier on ABC's "This Week," said that she plans to stick with her decision to hold any vote on the bipartisan deal until after the Senate passes a larger infrastructure package through reconciliation. "I won't put it on the floor until we have the rest of the initiative," Pelosi said. "I'm not happy with what she said," Portman told "This Week" anchor George Stephanopoulos. "It's inconsistent with the agreement that we have on a bipartisan basis."
