Golden straddles the fence

Nancy Pelosi is facing growing criticism from her own party for saying she will hold up a bipartisan infrastructure bill unless the Senate passes a separate massive spending bill loaded with tax increases.

But Jared Golden is straddling the fence.

When asked if he’s okay with Pelosi’s approach, he deferred, saying there’s “plenty of time to talk about that.”

Many of Golden’s Democrat colleagues have drawn a line in the sand – why won’t Golden stand up against Pelosi holding a bipartisan infrastructure bill hostage?
