Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) believes the Trump administration could score a major legislative victory if he negotiates with Democrats on a $1 trillion infrastructure package.
Klobuchar said Monday evening that Democrats have repeatedly shown openness to working with Trump on a rebuilding proposal, and dismissed concerns that her party would be reluctant to hand the GOP a win before the 2018 midterm elections.
“I was surprised the White House didn’t lead with it,” Klobuchar said at an infrastructure event sponsored by Politico. “There’s a lot of momentum for infrastructure funding right now, and the president is going to have to decide. I would list this as the top thing he could get done if he wants to go for it.”
