House Democrats passed a massive $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill on Wednesday, as Republicans accused them of pouring money into what one congressman called a “partisan wish list.”The Moving Forward Act passed by a 233-188 vote that was almost entirely along party lines. Graves is the top Republican on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has already derided the House bill as “pure fantasy,” according to Politico. The only Republicans who voted in favor of the bill are Pennsylvania’s Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick and New Jersey Reps. Jeff Van Drew and Chris Smith. A narrower infrastructure bill was approved by a Senate committee nearly a year ago but has not made progress since.
