Reuters reports that the U.S. Senate has set a Tuesday vote on passage of a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced that a week-long debate on the bipartisan bill will conclude at 15:00 GMT Tuesday when a vote is held on passage, which is expected.
The Senate is then expected to vote to begin debate of the larger bill here - a budget blueprint that is a key goal for progressive Democrats.
Documents showed that it would set the stage for legislation later this year providing tax incentives for “clean” manufacturing, making community college free for two years and providing a pathway to citizenship for millions of immigrant workers.
The budget plan also envisions new federal aid for social programs, including home healthcare for the elderly.
The first bill here sits atop Biden's domestic agenda and includes $550 billion in new spending on roads, bridges and internet access.
The $1 trillion infrastructure bill is popular among many lawmakers in both parties because of the federal dollars it would deliver to their home states. Polls also show that Americans at large are supportive of it.
