Cornyn Says GOP Open to Smaller Infrastructure Bill

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) “said he and his colleagues could support an infrastructure bill of around $800 billion, underscoring GOP interest in a bipartisan fix for the nation’s aging roads and patchy broadband service,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) said that Democrats should work to find a bipartisan agreement with Republicans on elements of the White House infrastructure plan before pivoting to a second, broader package that Democrats pass along party lines.”
