Sen. Mitt Romney is helping to lead the effort to salvage stalled infrastructure talks, telling reporters Tuesday the discussions are “in a good spot” and could yield a long-sought deal to fix the nation’s crumbling roads and bridges.
The Utah Republican told reporters in the Capitol Wednesday a handful of GOP senators negotiating an infrastructure package that could attract Democratic support expanded to about eight or nine lawmakers, signaling increased support in the Republican conference.
While the group had been working on a deal for months, their efforts had received little media attention compared to Biden’s negotiations with Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), who was given the blessing of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnnell (R-Ky.) to negotiate on behalf of his caucus.

Bipartisan groups push new infrastructure plan after Biden-Capito talks fail
Two bipartisan groups of lawmakers — one in the House and one in the Senate — are moving forward with compromise infrastructure proposals of their own after President Biden ceased talks with Senate Republicans and gave Democrats the green light to proceed without them.
In the Senate, a group of eight members including Sens. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and Rob Portman (R-Ohio) met Tuesday evening to continue their negotiations on a potential infrastructure deal valued at around $900 billion.

If it is a bipartisan effort, we know who is behind it and what it consists of. Let’s hope it doesn’t see the light of day.
You can bet, RINO Romney and the rest, will do all they can, to ensure it does though….
The RINO’s approach to “negotiation” is to cave in to ALL of the democraps demands. Get these pukes out of congress at the earliest possible opportunity.
We should have done so, in the 2019 election.
BUT you can bet the dem fraud machine, HELPED KEEP all those rinos in office..
mitt is a traitor and needs to be banished from the party.
Sorry, I could only give you 5 stars.
An infrastructure compromise, 90 percent pork and 10 percent infrastructure. A great package for the RINOS and the communist Democrats in Washington.
AND a cruddy deal for WE the tax victim.
Cassidy used endorsements by President Trump to get himself reelected and then stabbed Pres. Trump in the back; unfortunately, he has 5 1/2 years left in the Senate now. Wonder what kind of backroom deal he made. Very sorry I voted for him, never again!
I wonder, how many of those who trump endorsed, HAVE DONE the same as Cassidy did? AND WILL TRUMP learn from that, to VET THE HELL OUT of everyone, before he endorses anyone else!?
Romney is no RINO, he is a out and out progressive (democrat, socialist, communist, Marxist, anarchist). Pure and simple he should never be referred to as anything but.
