Delaying the bipartisan bill 'only hurts everyday families,' Senator Sinema said in a statement.
Saturday for holding up a vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill, calling the delay"inexcusable.". It includes funding for roads and bridges, high-speed internet, rail and transit, drinking water upgrades and other priorities meant to shore up the nation's crumbling infrastructure.
The delay came after progressive and moderate Democrats failed to reach an agreement on the two bills. Progressives said they would not vote to pass the $1.2 trillion bill unless it was linked to the $3.5 trillion bill. Up to 50 House Democrats would have voted to kill the legislation, Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal has said.
Sinema, who has previously expressed skepticism over the $3.5 trillion price tag, said in a statement that she would never"agree to any bargain that would hold one piece of legislation hostage to another." Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema criticized progressives and Democratic leadership over the delayed infrastructure vote. HEre, she is seen in a committee meeting in May 2019.She criticized Democratic leaders, who she said have"made conflicting promises that could not all be kept—and have, at times, pretended that differences of opinion within our party did not exist, even when those disagreements were repeatedly made clear directly and publicly.
