Bernie Sanders Tiring of Joe Biden’s Attempts to Negotiate ‘Infrastructure’ with Republicans
Kyle Olson 10 May 2021
U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is growing tired of President Joe Biden (D) negotiating a sweeping “infrastructure” plan with Republicans.
Sanders was asked by Axios on HBO whether he agreed with Biden aide Steve Ricchetti’s comment that Democrats have “a little more time” to have “broader consultation and dialog” and “There’s more receptivity on the Republican side to having that dialogue, and they also see the potential to reach some common ground here.”
“In general I don’t agree with that,” Sanders responded. “The bottom line is the American people want results.”
He continued, “And frankly, when people got a, you know, $1,400 check or $5,600 check for their family, they didn’t say, ‘Oh, I can’t cash this check because it was done without any Republican votes.'”
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg told the New York Times Sway podcast last week going the traditional route of “regular order” and committee hearings is something Biden “prefers,” but “our bottom line is something has to get done.”
