WASHINGTON (The Hill) — Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) said on Sunday that “things might have been different” when it came to the outcome of Virginia’s gubernatorial election had Congress passed its $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package before Election Day.

“If we could have had this bipartisan infrastructure bill, which — [Maryland Gov.] Larry Hogan is right. The House could have passed it in August. We could have spent the last three months going around Virginia talking about clean water systems, improving our transportation system, making sure our airports didn’t appear to be third world, making sure every home in Virginia had high-speed broadband connectivity,” Warner said during “State of the Union” on CNN.

“So, yes, I think, if we could have been talking about that win and showing the kind of job creation that actually has been taking place, things might have been different,” he later added.

Asked if that difference could have resulted in a win for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe, Warner responded, “absolutely.”

“I mean, this was — the voters of Virginia and the voters of America gave us the presidency, the Senate and the House. They expected us to produce. They have been hearing about this bipartisan infrastructure bill for months,” he added.
