'It's very hard to say that we should not repair our roads,' one expert says. 'These are things that people can see. They are not controversial. Having worldclass infrastructure is not left or right, it's American.'
President Joe Biden will be joined by a bipartisan group of lawmakers as he signs the massive infrastructure bill in a ceremony at the White House on Monday.After 87 days of negotiations, the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill was passed in the House Nov. 5 with the help of 13 Republicans -- a decision that swiftly set conservative GOP members on the attack against their colleagues.
But as for the midterms, only 10 of those 13 House Republicans who broke rank are running for reelection next year. Reps. Anthony Gonzalez, Adam Kinzinger and Tom Reed have already announced they won't be seeking another term in 2022. "It's very hard to say that we should not repair our roads," he said."These are things that people can see. They are not controversial. Having worldclass infrastructure is not left or right, it's American."
Kahn said comments like the one made by Sen. Lisa Murkowski's, R-Alaska, who called the concerns over giving Biden a win"petty," could help her colleagues politically.They might not need much help, though. Even those Republican challengers who got a boost from their oppenent's infrastructure vote didn't see a windfall.
