Republican Gov. Larry Hogan of Maryland is taking aim at former President Donald Trump for targeting some House Republicans who earlier this month voted for a wide ranging bipartisan infrastructure bill.
After 13 House Republicans crossed party lines and voted with nearly the entire House Democratic conference to narrowly pass the $1.2 trillion infrastructure measure – the largest investment in the nation's crumbling roads and bridges in decades – Trump called them RINOS (the acronym for "Republicans in name only") who should be "ashamed of themselves."
The crossover Republican votes helped the majority House Democrats pass the bill – which was approved in the Senate in August with bipartisan support – and handed President Biden a major legislative victory.
