President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris deliver remarks after the Senate passed a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan Tuesday, a huge step for Democrats as they try to push Biden’s sweeping economic agenda through Congress.
The legislation, which includes $550 billion in new funding for transportation, broadband and utilities, got through in a 69-30 vote, as 19 Republicans joined all 50 Democrats.
The chamber in a 50-49 party line vote then proceeded to a budget resolution that would allow Democrats to approve what they see as a complementary $3.5 trillion spending plan without Republican votes.
