President Joe Biden’s wide-reaching, $2.25 trillion proposal includes investments in roads, bridges and green energy.
A top Republican in the United States Senate has urged President Joe Biden to scale down his ambitious, $2.25 trillion infrastructure bill, which includes investments in roads, bridges, elderly care and green energy. In an interview with ABC News programme This Week, Senator Roy Blunt said on Sunday that the bill would be an “easy, bipartisan win” for Biden if it were to concentrate more closely on physical infrastructure investments. “You’ve got an easy bipartisan win here if you’ll keep this package nearly focused on infrastructure,” said Blunt, chairman of the Senate Republican Policy Committee, according to a transcript of the interview.More Related News
