Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday said that he expects Democrats’ infrastructure proposal will likely be a “Trojan horse” that includes other Democratic priorities such as tax hikes.

“We’re hearing the next few months might bring a so-called ‘infrastructure’ proposal that may actually be a Trojan horse for massive tax hikes and other job-killing left-wing policies,” McConnell said on the Senate floor on Monday.
