On working w/ Republicans, Buttigieg says "We've really valued the conversations that have happened-- they've been transparent, they've been straightforward, & given that we started very far apart, you know, there's really been I think a lot of healthy dialogue up to this point.”
Buttigieg defends the administration's broad definition of infrastructure, telling CNN, "I think the pandemic forced us to rethink things, b/c one of the things we saw is that as a country, we were not as resilient as we need to be in the face of a major shock like the pandemic."
"Its forced us to reassess, not only things we've known for a long time need work, like our road & bridge infrastructure, but also things we can't just go on forever ignoring, like our care infrastructure our health infrastructure, which is why we think those things fit together"
