The US Senate will vote Tuesday on a historic, sweeping $1.2 trillion bipartisan package to shore up the nation's crumbling infrastructure with funding for priorities like roads, bridges, rail, transit and the electric grid.
If it passes, which it is expected to do, it will be a major achievement for both parties and President Joe Biden, fulfilling key agenda items, including his promise to work across the aisle. However, after the Senate, it will head to the House of Representatives, where it faces an uncertain future, before it can be sent to Biden's desk to be signed into law.
