Sen Al Franken (D-MN), a big backer of Hillary Clinton and critic of President-elect Donald Trump, says that broadband infrastructure buildouts may be one area where he and President-elect Trump can agree. Sen Franken has big differences over issues like climate change and healthcare with populist Republican President-elect Trump, but when asked by CNN's Jake Tapper where he might find agreement, Sen Franken was quick to say "infrastructure." And he said that went beyond roads and bridges to broadband buildouts. "This is something I think we should be doing," he said, adding: "I think I may be more in line with the new President than my Republican colleagues in the Senate and the House."
