Democrats Rush to Get Votes on Spending Package, Infrastructure Bill

Democrats in the House were trying to set up votes on two pieces of legislation on Friday, attempting to pass President Biden’s massive social spending package and the bipartisan infrastructure bill.

As reported by The Washington Post, “Democrats hope to vote first on a nearly $2 trillion plan that would expand Medicare, provide free, universal prekindergarten for all American children, set aside new sums to fight global warming, and offer new benefits to low-income families, much of which is paid for through taxes on millionaires and corporations.”

Additionally, after deliberation on that package, The Post reported, “Democrats next hope to turn to a roughly $1.2 trillion measure to improve the nation’s roads, bridges, pipes, ports and Internet connections. That infrastructure measure cleared the Senate on a bipartisan basis in August, but it has remained stuck in the House.”

On Friday morning, it was reportedly still unclear as to what the schedule for the votes could be.

“We’re working on it,” said House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-MD), as they kept trying to secure votes. (Read more from “Democrats Rush to Get Votes on Spending Package, Infrastructure Bill” HERE)
