Senate votes to proceed on $1.2T infrastructure deal, Trump warns of ‘socialist expansion’
NY Post
The Senate voted Friday to move the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure deal forward to the next step.
In a 66-28 vote on a motion to proceed, the Senate opened the deal up to the amendment process and potential changes. Sixteen Republicans voted alongside the 50 Senate Democrats. While the text of the bill has yet to be revealed, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer hopes to have it passed before the August recess, starting Aug. 9. Any changes and amendment votes for the bill are expected to happen over the weekend.More Related News
