Republicans Challenge California High-Speed Rail Funding

Lawmakers request detailed information on project costs and federal grants amid escalating expenses.

Republican lawmakers Sam Graves and Ted Cruz question the viability of California's high-speed rail project.
They request detailed documents from the Department of Transportation on recent federal funding.
The project, initially estimated at $40 billion, now projects costs up to $128 billion.
Despite delays and funding gaps, the project has created over 13,000 jobs statewide.
The Biden administration continues to support the project, citing its potential economic benefits.
