Democrats are seeking to make roads and bridges a major campaign issue ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, highlighting local projects that stand to benefit from the bipartisan infrastructure bill and going after Republicans who voted against it. The money ― $1.2 trillion over eight years ― is aimed at overhauling the nation’s roads, bridges, railways, ports, utilities, internet access and more. In the Senate, 19 Republicans voted for the bill ― no small feat in today’s polarized climate. The incumbent GOP senators targeted by Democrats ― Rubio in Florida, and Ron Johnson in Wisconsin ― opposed the measure. Trump over the weekend criticized the House and Senate Republicans who voted for the bill because it gave Biden a political win.
