US Senate infrastructure bill vote expected to drag into Tuesday
After the weekend wrangling on US President Joe Biden’s $1 trillion infrastructure bill, the Senate on Sunday advanced on the details of the largest investment in roads and bridges in decades.
As Democrats and Republicans push it closer to the passage, final votes could drag into early Tuesday as a single GOP senator, Tennessee's Bill Hagerty, refused to relent on the mandatory debate time, per AP News.
The latest update shows that the US Senate takes another step toward passing the bill by voting to waive Budget Act in relation to the bill.
