Joe Biden Claims Infrastructure Victory Despite No Bill Text or Vote

Charlie Spiering 28 Jul 2021

President Joe Biden again claimed victory for his bipartisan infrastructure deal in the Senate Wednesday, despite having no text or votes to demonstrate success.

“I am pleased to join a bipartisan group of United States Senators and announce our deal to make the most significant long-term investment in our infrastructure and competitiveness in nearly a century,” Biden said in a statement.

The bipartisan group of senators announced Wednesday a deal on “the major issues” in the bill, but there is still zero text of the potential legislation available.

Senate Republicans predicted there would be the text of the bill by Monday evening as they passed out summaries of the agreement at their weekly party lunch.

Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) told reporters on Wednesday he expected the text of the bill to be over 1,000 pages.

Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) told reporters on Capitol Hill that Republican and Democrat negotiators had reached an agreement on the “major issues” and were prepared to move forward on the bill.

He also said that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was “open-minded” and “encouraging” about their progress on the bill.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) expressed skepticism that the text was not released.
