“Infrastructure Week” would have been a week blocked out in Congress to debate and pass a bipartisan bill to fund more roads, bridges, and the like during the Trump administration. The term became a taunt because the effort got pushed back so often by other priorities that it never happened.

President-elect Joe Biden’s team announced a delay of its own infrastructure week as well. It is partly due to the demands of President Trump. On Dec. 23, 2020, Trump gave a nationally televised speech denouncing the stimulus bill that was winding its way to his desk, saying it was full of wasteful spending on the one hand and not nearly generous enough on the other.
