Granholm also said it is “a bit perplexing why the Republicans haven’t moved further on critical pieces.”

“It is frustrating that there’s not more coming together on this,” she said. “The president’s red line, as you have heard, is that inaction is his red line. So there will be action. We’re just hopeful that we can see it in a bipartisan way. That would be good for the country.”
