The No. 3 House Democrat said Thursday that time may be running out to reach a bipartisan deal on a national infrastructure plan, suggesting that President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats should be preparing to act on their own.
“We are still negotiating,” Representative Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, said during an appearance on Bloomberg Television’s “Balance of Power” program. But, he added, “I don’t think we should run the risk of not getting something done because the other side is not cooperating.”
