Senators Iron Out Infrastructure Disagreements, May Advance Bill As Soon As Tonight

A bipartisan group of senators has resolved remaining differences on a roughly $1 trillion infrastructure deal.

Last month, President Biden and a handful of Democratic and Republican lawmakers unveiled the Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework — a $1.2 trillion compromise on President Biden’s $2.7 trillion American Jobs Plan. The new package removed most spending on healthcare and other items unrelated to physical infrastructure — which drew frustration from progressive lawmakers such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
