Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are attempting to sabotage a bipartisan infrastructure package.
Schumer set up a procedural Senate vote that took place on Wednesday, even though a bipartisan infrastructure package was (and is) not yet completed. The failed outcome was known even before the vote since all Republicans, as expected, voted against the motion to begin debating the $1.2 trillion infrastructure package. That package includes funding for actual infrastructure, including roads, bridges, broadband internet, electric vehicle charging stations, electric transit and buses, and eliminating lead service lines and pipes to allow for clean water.
