In this Tuesday, June 15, 2021 file photo, Senate Minority Whip John Thune, R-S.D., and the GOP leadership talk to reporters about progress on an infrastructure bill and voting rights legislation, at the Capitol in Washington. Lawmakers are trying to stop 144 cities across the U.S. from losing their designations as “metropolitan areas” because the federal government is upgrading the standard from a minimum of 50,000 residents in its core to a minimum of 100,000 people. U.S. Sens. Thune, and Mark Kelly, a Democrat from Arizona, introduced legislation this week that would stop the Office of Budget and Management from making the change. (AP Photo/J.
