After weeks of wrangling, the Senate passed a $1.1 trillion infrastructure bill with Republican support, in a big win for Democrats and Pres. Biden.
earlier in the day with a White House speech touting the political win and thanking Republican senators who voted with Democrats for what he said was their"courage" to come together to strike a deal for the American people.
"I want to thank the group of senators, Democrats and Republicans, for doing what they told me they would do. The death of this legislation was mildly premature as reported. They said they were willing to work in a bipartisan manner. And I want to thank them for keeping their word. That's just what they did," Biden said.President Joe Biden speaks about the infrastructure bill passed by the Senate on August 10, 2021, in the East Room of the White House in Washington.
"I want to thank the Republican -- Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell for supporting this bill," Biden said."And special thanks to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Your leadership, Chuck, in the Senate was masterful."Biden's victory lap is somewhat premature given a weeks or months-long delay in final passage could lie ahead. Biden did note that there was still a lot of work to be done to get the bill on to his desk.
"His message is that he remains committed to passing each of these pieces of legislation, on dual tracks. That he is going to work in lockstep with Speaker Pelosi, just as we have worked in lockstep with Leader Schumer, successfully over the last several weeks and months to get this done, and he is confident in the leadership, the strategic approach of Speaker Pelosi and looks forward to being her partner in the weeks ahead," Psaki told reporters.
