Biden hits Congressional Baseball Game as hopes fade for infrastructure bill [BOOED!]

President Biden took in the Congressional Baseball Game Wednesday night as he attempted to shore up support for a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill that faces an uncertain future after another dramatic day on Capitol Hill.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) had scheduled a vote on the legislation for Thursday, defying left-wing members of her conference who want a larger $3.5 trillion social spending plan to move through both houses of Congress first.

However, multiple lawmakers from both parties told The Post Wednesday night that they believed the infrastructure bill would not come up for a House vote as scheduled Thursday, handing at least a temporary victory to the Democrats’ progressive wing.

Biden, who postponed a planned Wednesday trip to Chicago to focus on getting both proposals over the finish line in the House, arrived at Nationals Park in the top of the second inning. The game was briefly delayed as he acknowledged the crowd, though the cheers soon gave way to boos from Republicans sitting in the first base stands.

“Let’s play ball!” chanted some GOP fans, who may have suspected the president of trying to ice their starting pitcher, Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.).

Some activists displayed banners urging the passage of the larger spending bill. One read, “Our lives are not a game[.] Pass 3.5T”. Another warned, more bluntly: “Democrats don’t f— this up.”

Baseball game? What baseball game? You mean it wasn’t the local ice cream shop? No wonder people were looking at him funny when he ordered the double chocolate chip.

A moderate Republican House member told The Post that between 22 and 24 GOPers were expected to support the $1.2 trillion bill as of Wednesday night, despite instructions from party leadership to oppose it.

Moderate? No. Eff'ing Commies.

Uh huh.

We won’t see Grampa Dementia throwing out any baseball anytime soon.

Has anyone questioned Pelosi on why she and others don’t want Joe to take any questions?

These are the people who enabled this.
They knew it was a Trojan horse and voted for it anyway.

Dan Sullivan (R-AK) Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) Mike Crapo (R-ID) Roy Blunt (R-MO) Richard Burr (R-NC) Deb Fischer (R-NE) Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Rob Portman (R-OH) Thom Tillis (R-NC) Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) Jim Risch (R-ID) Chuck Grassley (R-IA) Bill Cassidy (R-LA) Kevin Cramer (R-ND) Roger Wicker (R-MS) Mitch McConnell (R-KY) John Hoeven (R-ND) Susan Collins (R-ME) Mitt Romney (R-UT)

They knew when they were voting for the $1.2 trillion they were enabling the bigger, worse one.

Keep in mind this BOOING of Biden happened at Washington Nationals ballpark right in DC. Most of the people in attendance probably work for the Federal Govt in some capacity.
