BREAKING: 13 moderate House Republicans save Biden’s infrastructure bill after far-left Democrats rebel
Washington Times ^ | Nov 5 | By Haris Alic

Posted on 11/05/2021 8:43:33 PM PDT by RandFan

A cadre of moderate House Republicans saved President Biden’s $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure deal from defeat on Friday after far-left Democrats rebelled against the legislation.

13 House Republicans, including never-Trump acolytes like Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, joined with 215 Democrats to narrowly pass the bill. Given the narrow margin that Democrats control the House, Mr. Biden could only afford three defections.

Senators are also likely to strip out a just-added immigration provision that would create a new program for some 7 million immigrants who are in the country without legal standing, allowing them to apply for permits to work and travel in the U.S. for five years. It’s not clear that addition would pass muster with the Senate parliamentarian under special budget rules being used to process the package.

The Biden gang has already released an illegal alien who lied that he was a teen (of course they didn't check) and then murdered a US citizen in Florida.

There are a lot of nonTrump suburban Republicans in parts of NJ. I lived in Morris Co. for a while where Republicans always won.

If they passed the Senate bill, no conference committee. 19 Reps voted for the bill in the Senate including McConnell.

They saved Biden’s infrastructure bill. They didn’t have to do that.

No because 6 Commie Dems like AOC voted against. It would of failed.

So a $1.2 trillion bill where less the half actually goes to real infrastructure projects. Nothing costs so much, and accomplishes so little, as a US Government spending bill.

Make sure to vote Republican to take back the Congress!

That's sarcasm, if it wasn't obvious. It's one party.

Make no mistake: With the 6 Democrat defections, it was REPUBLICANS who passed Biden's agenda. Republicans did this.

These principled Republicans passed this in the middle of the night?

Stop sending the RNC money.

What he’s talking about is covered by about 1/3 of the money in the bill; the other 2/3 goes to far left “wants”.

I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise.

All the drama was nothing more than the hogs jockeying for snout position around the trough.

We continue to play stupid election games, we continue to win stupid prizes.

The scorecard only shows NV and NAY votes. There are no Republican YAY votes. Did they use the cowardly route.

Stop sending the RNC money.

I stopped decades ago. We only give $$ to the most conservative candidates, ie members of the Freedom Caucus.

As far as I know...the “Infrastructure Bill” did NOT HAVE THE ENTIRE GREEN NEW DEAL IN IT.

Just a part of it...which is very concerning.

The Headline should read “13 RINOs Save Biden Bill In House As Uniparty Ignores America”.
