Sen. Mitt Romney says he trusts Biden on infrastructure reversal

Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, one of the lawmakers negotiating a bipartisan infrastructure package, said Sunday that President Biden had “calmed” the waters — after roiling them days earlier by saying he wouldn’t sign the legislation unless it was paired with a more ambitious bill.

“I do take the president at his word,” Romney said on CNN's “State of the Union.”




When Biden announced the major infrastructure deal on Thursday, he celebrated the agreement as a sign that he could navigate bitterly divided Washington politics. But he quickly undermined the negotiations by saying he would only sign the legislation if it were presented to him “in tandem” with a separate bill that includes other Democratic spending priorities.

“If this is the only thing that comes to me, I’m not signing it,” Biden said.

But Pelosi has made it clear, the bipartisan bill will not be sent to Biden separately.
