Guess who's hand is up Sen. Bill Hagerty's ass

Trump Called Sen. Bill Hagerty Prior to Request for More Debate on Infrastructure Bill

Former President Donald Trump reportedly called GOP Senator Bill Hagerty of Tennessee on Sunday morning before Hagerty requested further debate on the infrastructure bill he says is a "socialist debt bond" of new government spending, the Associated Press reported.

"I think he's doing Trump's bidding. I don't think there's any doubt about it," Democratic Senator Jon Tester of Montana, one of the lead negotiators for the legislation, said in an interview. "I think they want to try to draw this out as long as they possibly can and hope and pray that Congress fails."

Hagerty said his reasoning has less to do with Trump and more about increasing the federal deficit by about $256 billion over the next decade, as estimated by the Congressional Budget Office. Once the $1 trillion infrastructure package is approved, Democrats plan to take up an even more expensive spending measure, a $3.5 trillion social and environmental package that is not expected to get GOP support, the AP said.

Often elusive, the political center is holding steady in the Senate as a coalition of Democratic and Republican senators brushes off critics to push the $1 trillion infrastructure package toward final passage.
