Senators chart next steps on infrastructure after clearing key hurdle
CBSN
Washington — Senate Democrats are plotting the path forward for the bipartisan infrastructure bill after it cleared a key procedural hurdle Wednesday in a vote that capped weeks of negotiations between a bipartisan group of senators and the White House.
Following the Senate's 67-to-32 vote to take up the measure, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Thursday that senators should prepare for a flurry of legislative activity in the coming days as part of his effort for the chamber to approve the roughly $1 trillion infrastructure deal and a budget resolution to serve as the blueprint for a broader, $3.5 trillion second infrastructure measure. The Senate's passage of both are crucial steps toward enacting a key pillar of President Biden's economic agenda.More Related News
