Fifth House Republican comes out in support of bipartisan infrastructure bill
By Joseph Choi - 09/23/21 03:04 PM EDT

Rep. Don Bacon came out in support of the bipartisan infrastructure bill on Thursday, becoming the fifth House Republican to do so.

The five Republicans are backing the Senate-passed bill despite the fact that their leadership team is whipping members against it.

"First of all, I think we need hard infrastructure. I worked on this bill from the beginning as part of the Problem Solvers so it's been a half-Republican, half-Democrat effort," Bacon told reporters. "I think it's an area we can show Congress working."


Bacon also said he thought it was wrong for House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to "pick this fight." McCarthy criticized the bill as not being bipartisan.

Democrats are scrambling to reach a deal within their own House caucus that would ensure the infrastructure bill passes the House next week.

Still think their is a 2 party system?? The Republicans the opposition Party. How much more will it take for people to realize that their is only ONE UNIPARTY. Until the R party is GONE and a real opposition party is formed just continue to bend over unless it is something CONSERVATIVE and the R party will fight thru hell and high water to WIN :chairbang:

Last I looked Cheney and Kinzinger are still in the Pub caucus, so why not break ranks and give the Rats a big win.

At times like this it can seem so hopeless, but I will just keep fighting on.
