Summary
Congressman John Yarmuth (D) KY is chair of the all important House Budget Committee. A very Blue representative from a very Red state, he talks with Bill about the chances for Biden's expansive infrastructure bill. Will the D's stick together? Will R's in Congress get on board? Why we need it all. Plus he has some very strong words for fellow Kentuckian, Mitch McConnell.
Today's Bill Press Pod is supported by The United Food and Commercial Workers Union. Manning the grocery stores, pharmacies and meat processing plants, they got us through the worst of the pandemic. More information at UFCW.org.
