Read our privacy policy With passage in the Senate on Tuesday of a once-in-a-generation bipartisan deal on infrastructure, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has made a head-to-head wager with President Joe Biden: that he can make cross-party cooperation work in Republicans’ favor. But supporting the bipartisan infrastructure deal provides McConnell an endlessly exploitable talking-point for the next three years: “See,” the GOP leader can now credibly say, “we’re not just a party of obstruction — just look at all those wonderful infrastructure programs and projects we funded in 2021.” For Biden, the infrastructure deal fulfills his campaign promise to be “an American president,” not just a president for the 51 per cent of the nation that voted for him last November. Mitch McConnell can no longer do the job.” Trump doubled down this past weekend, in a statement made through his super PAC that called the bipartisan infrastructure deal a “disgrace” and insisted Republicans had leverage for a better one. “If Mitch McConnell was smart, which we’ve seen no evidence of, he would use the debt ceiling card to negotiate a good infrastructure package,” Trump said.
