Sen. Ted Cruz has accused President Joe Biden of using the 2021 infrastructure law to boost his re-election bid and is calling for an investigation into signs that credit the law for infrastructure projects across the country.

Several of them said they received death threats. Cruz said in his letter that the signs linking Biden to the infrastructure law are “nothing more than campaign yard signs courtesy of the American taxpayer.
