 The United States Senate voted to advance a $1 trillion infrastructure package on Saturday. This is a procedural, or rather, but important step forward after months of negotiations between President Joe Biden and a bipartisan group of senators. In a 67-27 votes demonstrating broad bipartisan support, senators agreed to limit debate on the legislation. This represents the biggest investment in decades in America's fiscal infrastructure, including roads, bridges, airports and waterways. But the timing for passage remained unclear as lawmakers prepared for possible votes on amendments. They've also worked behind closed doors to reach an agreement that would allow the Senate to complete its work on the legislation quickly. The chamber's top Republican Mitch McConnell signaled his support for the bill, and after hours of close-on negotiations, senators were unable to reach agreement on Thursday on a final batch of amendments. On this vote, the yeas are 67, the nays are 27, three-fifths of the senators duly chosen and sworn having voted in the affirmative. The motion is agreed to. We're rising to the challenge. The bill before us, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act includes, among other provisions, the largest federal investment in public transit in history, the largest investment in clean drinking water and wastewater infrastructure in history, the largest investment in clean energy transmission in history, the largest investment in climate resiliency in history, and the largest investment in transportation electrification in history. Is this bill perfect? No. No compromise legislation ever is. But it will make a big difference in modernizing our country's infrastructure. More than that, we will demonstrate that both Republicans and Democrats can come together and do big things that move our country forward.
