A group of senators have finalized legislative language for the long-awaited bipartisan physical infrastructure deal, bringing the Senate one step closer to passing a top priority for Biden
A group of senators finalized legislative language Sunday evening for the long-awaited bipartisan physical infrastructure deal, bringing the Senate one step closer to passing a top priority for President Joe Biden.
“It’s been decades since Congress passed such a significant standalone investment and I salute the hard work done here by everybody,” Schumer said. “Given how bipartisan the bill is and how much work has already been put in to get the details right, I believe the Senate can quickly process relevant amendments.”
While Sinema acknowledged Sunday evening that the process was “difficult” and “long," she added it was “what our forefathers intended.” While all 50 Senate Democrats voted in favor of moving forward, the legislation has divided the Senate Republican conference. A total of 18 Senate Republicans, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, supported advancing the legislation last week and Sen. Susan Collins , one of the GOP negotiators, predicted on CNN Sunday that at least 10 Republicans would support final passage.
