The bipartisan infrastructure package will provide the state billions for transportation, broadband, and electrical infrastructure in Pennsylvania.

The bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that passed the Senate on Tuesday would mean billions in infrastructure funds for Pennsylvania. But every major Republican candidate for the state's open Senate seat is campaigning against the $550 billion plan.

According to the Cook Political Report and the University of Virginia's Center for Politics, the 2022 race to succeed retiring Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) will likely be one of the most competitive in the country.

According to a Philadelphia Inquirer roundup on Thursday, all of the major Republican contenders for the seat oppose the bipartisan package — which invests in transportation, water systems, electrical, and broadband infrastructure across the country.

I guess these idiots haven't driven lately on Route 1....or the I-95 corridor going to the airport....

1. Or I 78...

which is also route 22 that goes east/west through central PA. It has been the worst road in PA for decades.

2. Same thing in NC

While each of NC's GOP senators surprisingly voted for the infrastructure bill, all the Repub candidates to replace Burr are campaigning against the bill.

3. Toomey voted against it too

Hoping to screw his constituents on his way out I guess. He doesn’t have to prove his RWNJ cred any more.
