Here are the 19 GOP senators who defied TFG by voting for the $1 trillion infrastructure bill
Nineteen Republican senators approved the $1 trillion infrastructure package on Tuesday, publicly defying former President Donald Trump who attempted to kill the bill.
The GOP lawmakers joined all 50 of their Democratic colleagues to pass the bill in a 69-30 vote. The legislation includes billions in funding for improving roads, bridges, highways, broadband access, and other measures.
