In an interview on Hill.TV’s “Rising,” Gray reacted to news that Biden had cut off talks with Republicans on an infrastructure deal, instead now engaging with a bipartisan group of senators to reach a compromise.
Gray said, however, that she doesn’t think opposition from Republicans or a few more moderate Democrats are to blame for the lack of progress on infrastructure and other spending negotiations.
“I think that this whole last three or four months or so has been a really important lesson for those that might have thought that it was enough to go blue no matter who, get a Democrat in office and presume that the ‘D’ next to their name meant they had some kind of foundational commitment to the ideals we thought we broadly shared,” Gray argued.
