Fifth House Republican comes out in support of bipartisan infrastructure bill
Source: The Hill
Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) came out in support of the bipartisan infrastructure bill Thursday, becoming the fifth House Republican to do so.
The five Republicans are backing the Senate-passed bill despite the fact that their leadership team is whipping members against it.
"First of all, I think we need hard infrastructure. I worked on this bill from the beginning as part of the Problem Solvers so it's been a half-Republican, half-Democrat effort," Bacon told reporters. "I think it's an area we can show Congress working."
Bacon also said he thought it was wrong for House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to "pick this fight." McCarthy criticized the bill as not being bipartisan.

That's the lesser bill passed by the Senate. I'd rather have this than nothing but hope we can do better.
