Antsy Democrats warn of infrastructure time crunch
| Democrats are itching to get going on infrastructure as they see an increasingly condensed legislative calendar in the months ahead.
Almost six months into the Biden administration, Democrats know they have only a matter of weeks to get a major spending package to the president’s desk unless they punt infrastructure to the fall, setting the stage for a potential end-of-year train wreck. That new sense of urgency is pushing Senate Democrats toward a decision point, one way or another, with Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) urging his colleagues to “get cooking.” |
