Sen. Barrasso slams Biden for flip-flopping position on signing bipartisan infrastructure bill
Fox News
Sen. John Barrasso argued during an exclusive interview on “Sunday Morning Futures” that “there’s no way” Republicans are going to support the nearly $1 trillion infrastructure package “if it is any way linked and connected to” the broader Democratic spending package, which the Wyoming senator called a “freight train heading towards socialism.”
"The bottom line is this: I gave my word to support the infrastructure plan, and that’s what I intend to do," Biden said in a Saturday statement. "I intend to pursue the passage of that plan, which Democrats and Republicans agreed to on Thursday, with vigor." Biden added: "It would be good for the economy, good for our country, good for our people. I fully stand behind it without reservation or hesitation." The president raised eyebrows last week after he and a group of 21 senators reached a $953 billion compromise to modernize U.S. infrastructure, but then said he would not sign the bill unless Congress also passed a broader Democratic spending package.More Related News
