MSNBC The Week With Joshua Johnson August 8, 2021 00:08:00

much isn't clear. hagerty for his part isn't changing his mind, but also says he's not holding up this problem. i'm not sure how he can say that, because he is the one hold ing up this process. and republicans also say that he is. there are republicans like john cornyn who have amendments they would like to be able to put at play in this process, and because of the way this is working out, their amendments are not getting moved on. so when i asked cornyn specifically about his amendment, asked him why it wasn't getting moved on, he said, stubborn senators. most senators here, republican or democrat, want to get on this bill. they want to move forward with this. and from democrats' perspective, i would also point out, this is just part one. you laid this out in your introduction. yes, they're moving on the bipartisan infrastructure bill, but immediately after that comes budget reconciliation. that's the more partisan process here, but also the thing that the white house and democrats have been really eager to trumpet, and that progressive groups have been really on them
