As President Biden might say, his Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal is a BFD. Amongst the unlikely supporters singing the bill’s praises? Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, who called it a “godsend.” But that’s not all. A new Monmouth University poll shows Americans support the deal by a near 2-to-1 margin. President Biden’s infrastructure investment is a big deal for American workers and families. 

Even Mitch McConnell, who said his main focus was on blocking President Biden’s agenda, agrees that the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal is a “godsend” for states like Kentucky and across the country.

 The Hill: “McConnell: Infrastructure bill a ‘godsend’ for Kentucky”

Insider: “Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is already touting the $550 billion infrastructure law in his home state of Kentucky, lauding the federal money it’s poised to provide for repairing aging bridges and accelerating economic development in rural areas.”

President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal is also broadly popular with the American people.

Monmouth University Poll: “Support for the Bipartisan Infrastructure deal (BIF), which passed Congress last week and awaits the president’s signature, stands at 65%”

From fixing roads and bridges, to upgrading passenger rail, to modernizing our ports and investing in climate resilience, it’s clear that President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal is a big deal for America.
