Sen. Lindsey Graham accused Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Monday of trying to thwart ongoing negotiations over a bipartisan infrastructure bill by scheduling an initial test vote before the measure’s text has been finalized.
“We’re not going to proceed to a bill that’s not written, because that makes no sense,” Graham (R-SC) told Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle.”
Earlier Monday, Schumer (D-NY) filed cloture on a motion to proceed to debate on the $1.2 trillion package, the details of which are still being hammered out by a group of senators from both parties. One of the lead negotiators, Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio), has accused Schumer of setting an “arbitrary deadline” of Wednesday to finish writing the bill.
“Chuck Schumer’s trying to blow this effort up … Filing cloture on a bill that doesn’t exist is insane,” Graham said before imploring President Biden to “get on the phone to Schumer and tell him to stand down.”

Graham putting up a faux struggle. Graham loves big government too, he’s just annoyed that there’s not enough pork coming his way.
Their job is to protect the Deep State’s right flank.
We all know that there are a bunch of hidden surprises in this legislation. What gets me is why, in all of the decades that I have been watching politics, not one single bill has had a surprise that would repeal the 1934 NFA and the 1968 GCA. This stunning failure by “our side” has led me to believe that they simply aren’t “our side,” but part and parcel of the other side - which seeks only to control us and extract from us.
As for that utter scumbag, Upchuck Schemer, you can only trust him to do 2 things: enhance the power of the state and get his smarmy mug in front of a camera at every opportunity. Any Republican helping him pass ANY legislation should be primaried, just on principle.
Kill this one so they either have to use up their “reconciliation” or eat dirt. If they pass this with the 60 votes...it clears the way for the Dems to scr** everyone and pass the “social infrastructure” bill.
“Graham is just posturing.
He wants that amnesty hidden within.”
Fact check: true.
Translation: Lindsay Graham (Assistant Democrat - SC) wants additional political cover before he will deliver Republican votes.
