We are the ones on the ground that can make those decisions, get more input.
More and more Republicans every day are coming out saying, look, we're in the middle of two twin crises. This COVID-19 is spreading all across the country. Hospitals are overflowing people are dying and our economy is collapsing. And the president is tweeting all day and night about beating Joe Biden. We're not going to make up for 5 million votes in all of those states. It was a pretty overwhelming victory at this point.
If we can't reach a bipartisan solution on something like infrastructure that everybody agrees is a priority, then it is going to be difficult to do that on anything else.
Enhancing efficiency and eliminating red tape, making the process go smoother, cutting the timeframes down will be very important to continue to make progress on.
