Bipartisan infrastructure deal appears to be on shaky ground as Democratic and Republican negotiators struggle to reach agreement on lingering disputes, most notably how much money to spend on public transit.
WASHINGTON — The bipartisan infrastructure deal appeared to be on shaky ground Monday as Democratic and Republican negotiators struggled to reach agreement on lingering disputes, most notablyA bipartisan group of senators struck a deal in June with President Joe Biden that would allow for $579 billion in new infrastructure spending, but lawmakers have spent the intervening weeks trying to hammer out the details and have been unable to finalize a bill.
There was also backbiting between the two parties after a weekend spent trying to hash out the final sticking points. The Democratic source accused GOP negotiators of moving the goal posts. And the Republican source said Democrats were attempting to reopen aspects of the deal that they thought had been resolved.
On Monday morning, former President Donald Trump, who remains the de facto leader of the Republican Party, sought to throw a wrench into the talks by releasing a statement telling GOP senators:"Don't do the infrastructure deal."
