U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran intends to vote against the nearly $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill, the Kansas Republican said on the Senate floor Monday.

Moran was part of the group of Republicans who agreed to negotiate with Democrats on an infrastructure plan that both sides hope will gain bipartisan approval in the coming days.

Moran on Monday said he had hoped to support the plan, but he thinks a recent analysis shows too much of the plan — roughly half of the amount — won’t be offset by spending cuts or new revenue. Moran also has said he can’t support the plan if it raises taxes.

“Too much spending, too much debt and too much inflation,” Moran said in a statement Monday afternoon. “My efforts to reach a compromise were honest and sincere, and, unfortunately, we were unable to arrive at a bill I could support.”

Moran also said he had grown uneasy about the prospects of Democrats moving ahead with a $3.5 trillion plan that Democrats intend to pass without Republican support, even if an infrastructure deal is approved.

“Any harmful provisions we removed from the infrastructure bill will likely be included in the Democrats’ spending bill,” Moran said.

Moran is running for reelection. He received an endorsement from Donald Trump in February, after Moran voted to acquit Trump on impeachment charges related to insurrection and the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Political observers speculated Trump’s endorsement would make it less likely that Moran would face a formidable primary opponent in the upcoming elections.

However, Trump has recently said it would be difficult for him to support anyone who votes for the infrastructure deal, raising the possibility he could revoke his endorsement of Moran.
