Republican and Democratic lawmakers have not come to a compromise on an infrastructure deal, according to one GOP senator, who added that Democrats have remained focused on providing unions billions of dollars and other organizations.

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) told Fox News that some of the funding proposed by Democrats has little to do with traditional infrastructure such as bridges, roads, pipes, and electrical lines. Since President Joe Biden unveiled the multi-trillion-dollar bill, the White House and Democrats have provided shifting explanations for the definition of the term “infrastructure.”
