Republicans Warn Schumer on Infrastructure Deal Deadline (1)

Senate Republicans in bipartisan talks on a $579 billion infrastructure deal are warning Majority Leader Chuck Schumer that if he goes through with a Wednesday vote to start debate on the plan he won’t have their support and his attempt to enforce a deadline will fail.

Maine Senator Susan Collins said there is “no way” the group of 22 Republicans and Democrats can finish pulling together a bill by Wednesday with many issues still outstanding, including how to pay for it.

Without legislation in hand, Republicans say they will deny Schumer the votes he would need to move ahead.
