NEW: senrobportman tells gstephanopoulos, 'I'm not happy' with SpeakerPelosi's plan to hold off on a vote for the bipartisan infrastructure package. GS: 'Does that mean we'll end up with nothing?' Portman: 'If she has her way, we could.'
The Senate majority leader discussed his push for the key vote on the infrastructure deal, which wasn’t passed, and reacted to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejecting two Jan. 6 select committee picks.The bipartisan infrastructure bill deal is near completion and negotiators hope to reach an agreement on transit spending this week, Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, said Sunday.
"We're about 90% of the way there," Portman told ABC"This Week" anchor George Stephanopoulos."I feel good about getting that done this week." "We have one issue outstanding and we're not getting much response from the Democrats on it -- it's about mass transit," Portman added. Portman was so frustrated with the state of negotiations that he told reporters Thursday that they might just drop highway funding from the bill entirely, after Democrats continued a behind-the-scenes push to pull some funding away from highways to increase federal funding for transit.
