Fox News
Nearing decision time, senators were struggling to wrap up work on the bipartisan infrastructure plan despite hopes to expedite consideration and voting on the nearly $1 trillion proposal.
"We’ve worked long, hard and collaboratively, to finish this important bipartisan bill," said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., just before midnight. In announcing Saturday’s schedule, he said "We very much want to finish." "I … look forward to us reconvening together on Saturday and proceeding under regular order to finish what will be a historic piece of legislation." Called the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the thick bill is a first part of Biden’s infrastructure agenda, and would inject billions of new spending on roads, bridges, waterworks, broadband and other projects to virtually every corner of the nation.
