Biden optimistic Republicans will help pass bipartisan infrastructure bill

President Joe Biden said he is optimistic Republican support for his $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure will come together. Still, senators have told him they are concerned about political challengers if they sign on.

“The well has been so poisoned,” Biden said during a CNN town hall in Ohio on Wednesday. “A lot of my Republican friends said, ‘Joe, I know you’re right. But if I do this, I’ll get primaried. And I’ll lose my primary. I’ll be in trouble.'”
