A bipartisan infrastructure bill could be finalized Monday, Sen. Mark Warner says, pushing the massive spending bill forward to face another test on the Senate floor.
"I think this is the week we get the infrastructure bill to the floor," he said on MSNBC on Sunday.main point of contention in the five-year, $579 billion packageSenators and aides say Democrats want 80 percent of the funds allocated for transportation projects for highways and 20 percent for transit, citing past precedent. Republicans want less than 20 percent to go to mass transit, saying that ratio needs to be adjusted."Yes, it is complicated.
"I won't put it on the floor until we have the rest of the initiative," Pelosi said on ABC's"This Week." Republicans voted last Wednesday to block the Senate from beginning debate on the infrastructure proposal, saying they wanted more time to finalize the details of the agreement. The procedural motion failed 49-51, with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer switching his vote to"no" at the end to preserve his option to call the same vote on another day. The motion needed 60 to succeed.
Republican Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C. criticized Schumer for holding the vote before the bill was finalized.Teaganne Finn
