Democratic senator says his party should move forward on infrastructure without GOP: 'We cannot just sort of twiddle our thumbs'
CNN
Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen said Wednesday that it's time for his party to move forward on infrastructure legislation without Republican agreement, asserting that members of his party "cannot just sort of twiddle our thumbs at the negotiating table while the time fritters away."
After several weeks of talks, including multiple meetings in the Oval Office, negotiations on a massive infrastructure plan with a group of Senate Republicans collapsed Tuesday, dealing a blow to President Joe Biden's attempts at bipartisanship. Now, Van Hollen told CNN's Erin Burnett on "OutFront," his party should go it alone and pass a massive infrastructure plan with just Democratic votes.More Related News
