Calls bipartisan infrastructure bill 'the beginning of the Green New Deal'

One day after threatening to withhold endorsements over the bill, Trump issued a follow-up Save America PAC statement mischaracterizing the bipartisan infrastructure package as climate legislation, calling it "the beginning of the Green New Deal." He claimed the bill would be "a big victory for the Democrats" used against Republicans in future elections and contrasted it with his own unrealized infrastructure proposal. The statement escalated his campaign against Senate Republicans who backed the deal, which passed 69-30 two days later.
