The U.S. Chamber of Commerce made efforts to push moderate Democrats to pass the bipartisan infrastructure proposal immediately. According to Friday reports, the chamber has been running digital ads in support of the infrastructure plan.
The ad is shown praising a group of moderate Democrats who have been calling for the bill’s passage. Lawmakers said they were ready to block the Democrat’s larger reconciliation package unless the bipartisan measure was passed.
