The progressives derailed a previous vote attempt on the bipartisan infrastructure bill over the spending package.
“We had an agreement that these two bills would move together – not that we would vote for one in exchange for a potential vote on the other if certain conditions were met,” Pressley said in a statement late Friday. “Unfortunately, that agreement was not honored. As such, I voted no tonight on the narrow roads and bridges bill.”
Many other Republicans have also expressed frustration that the baker’s dozen of Republicans voted “yes.”

Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., chairman of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, tweeted that “Republicans who voted for the Democrats’ socialist spending bill are the very reason why Americans don’t trust Congress,” and Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., said it was “time to name names.”
Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., who was one of the Republicans to side with Democrats, jabbed back at Greene for claiming the infrastructure bill was part of a “communist takeover” by the president.
