The 19 GOP senators who voted for the $1T infrastructure bill
By Jordain Carney - 08/10/21 12:14 PM EDT

Nineteen Senate Republicans, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.), voted with all Democrats on Tuesday to pass a roughly $1 trillion infrastructure bill.

The bill still needs to pass the House, but gives President Biden a big win. Several GOP senators, led by Sen. Rob Portman (Ohio), negotiated the deal, helping it pick up Republican support.

The passage of the bill comes just before Democrats take up a budget resolution that greenlights their ability to pass a separate $3.5 trillion spending plan, packed with the party’s top priorities, later this year without GOP votes.


No Republicans are expected to support the budget resolution or the subsequent spending package, which is unlikely to get voted on before late September.

Sens. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) and Todd Young (R-Ind.), who had previously helped advance the bipartisan bill, came out in opposition to it. Rounds missed Tuesday’s vote because of his wife’s cancer treatments.

The following 19 GOP senators helped pass the deal.

Roy Blunt (Mo.)

Richard Burr (N.C.)

Shelley Moore Capito (W.Va.)

Bill Cassidy (La.)

Susan Collins (Maine)

Kevin Cramer (N.D.)

Mike Crapo (Idaho)

Deb Fischer (Neb.)

Lindsey Graham (S.C.)

Chuck Grassley (Iowa)

John Hoeven (N.D.)

Mitch McConnell (Ky.)

Lisa Murkowski (Alaska)

Rob Portman (Ohio)

James Risch (Idaho)

Mitt Romney (Utah)

Dan Sullivan (Alaska)

Thom Tillis (N.C.)

Roger Wicker (Miss.)

Not a one of these names surprises me. The Senate is a RINO cesspool.  The House will pass this no doubt.

I was listening to Beck this morning and his comment was; What the hell is wrong with our Senate??  Good question, but the real question is what the hell is wrong our Congress, DOJ and SCOTUS??  The vast majority are liberals and you would be hard pressed to find conservatives and/or patriots!

No, I don't have a whole lot of hope.  I continue to pray for this country.

Yeah, yeah, the democrats may vote 100%, but blame and trash all Republicans for what 19 Republicans did.  Not unlike how we got Biden, why change when it has a proven tract record, and democrats can rule forever with that mindset.  and just like last election, blame shifting will of course get us much the same results!  Let this utopia desolation never end!  Defend the guilty and blame those that struggle, though not perfectly!  Let hell reign.
