House Democrats are finally going to pass the Senate’s bipartisan infrastructure bill, sending it to President Biden’s desk to become law.
WASHINGTON — It now looks like “Democratic leaders laid the groundwork for Friday votes on both a social safety net bill and an infrastructure package that would cap months of internal party negotiations,”“A Democratic leadership source said the House plans to vote on the two pieces of legislation Friday, and that leaders are feeling confident they will finish them in one day, a move that would hand Biden a major legislative victory at a time when his poll numbers are falling.
So what’s different today than in September or October, when there was an effort to the infrastructure bill separately? There’s a lot of action in the House this week on both the president’s Build Back Better plan and infrastructure, the latter of which could potentially be signed into law within days.
