„Think twice before you approve this terrible deal,“ the former president said, criticizing Mitch McConnell and „RINOs.“
Former President Donald Trump on Saturday again voiced his opposition to the large bipartisan infrastructure bill nearing passage in the Senate, saying it would be „very hard“ to endorse Republican lawmakers voting in favor of the legislation. President Joe Biden, Democratic Senate leaders and a group of GOP senators have been negotiating for months to pass a sizable bipartisan infrastructure bill. The talks resulted in a nearly $1 trillion package to fund roads, bridges, water infrastructure, public transportation and broadband internet. The legislation now appears nearly ready to pass in the upper chamber of Congress. „Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill will be used against the Republican Party in the upcoming elections in 2022 and 2024. It will be very hard for me to endorse anyone foolish enough to vote in favor of this deal,“ Trump said in an official statement. Trump called the package a „gift“ to the Democrats and argued that it was only supported by „RINOs,“ an acronym meaning “ Republicans in name only.
