Sen. Cramer Statement on Biden Ending Bipartisan Infrastructure Negotiations: "A Slap in the Face to Bipartisanship"

Statement

Date: June 9, 2021
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Transportation Infrastructure

U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND), the Ranking Member of the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Subcommittee on Transportation and Infrastructure, issued the following statement today on President Biden ending bipartisan infrastructure negotiations with EPW Ranking Member Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV):

"The President's actions are a slap in the face to bipartisanship and to the good work both parties are accomplishing in the Environment and Public Works Committee. Senator Capito made a good-faith effort to reach a deal with President Biden, who campaigned on governing in a collaborative and unifying manner. Unfortunately the President chose to pursue far-left liberal policies instead of taking a pragmatic approach to getting things done for the American people. I urge my Democratic colleagues to ignore the President's disappointing decision and to continue the efforts we have started at the committee level, where we have already advanced wastewater infrastructure legislation and the largest highway reauthorization bill in history, both of which passed unanimously."
