Infrastructure on Track as Bipartisan US Senate Coalition Grows

After weeks of fits, starts and delays, the United States Senate is on track to give final approval to the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan, with a growing coalition of Democrats and Republicans prepared to lift the first phase of President Joe Biden's rebuilding agenda to passage.  

Final Senate votes are expected Tuesday, and the bill would then go to the House.  All told, some 70 senators appear poised to carry the bipartisan package to passage, a potentially robust tally of lawmakers eager to tap the billions in new spending for their states and show voters back home they can deliver.   Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said it's "the first time the Senate has come together around such a package in decades."
