McConnell responds this morning to President Biden's Saturday infrastructure deal statement: “The President has appropriately delinked a potential bipartisan infrastructure bill from the massive, unrelated tax-and-spend plans that Democrats want to pursue on a partisan basis."
McConnell: "Now I am calling on President Biden to engage Leader Schumer and Speaker Pelosi and make sure they follow his lead."
McConnell: "Unless Leader Schumer and Speaker Pelosi walk-back their threats that they will refuse to send the president a bipartisan infrastructure bill unless they also separately pass trillions of dollars for unrelated tax hikes,..."
McConnell: "... wasteful spending, and Green New Deal socialism, then President Biden’s walk-back of his veto threat would be a hollow gesture."
McConnell: “Republicans have been negotiating in bipartisan good faith to meet the real infrastructure needs of our nation. The President cannot let congressional Democrats hold a bipartisan bill hostage over a separate and partisan process.”
