If senators can't agree on amendments, Sen. Mazie Hirono said, "We'll have to vote on the bill itself after a week of debate.” | Stefani Reynolds/Getty ImagesSen. Mazie Hirono said Saturday she believes both the infrastructure and spending bills will be passed.
On Saturday’s vote, Hirono said, “The amendments going forward will have to be by unanimous consent.” The Saturday vote will be to move toward the substitute amendment, she said, and after that, there will need to be agreement “on what amendments will be deemed amendments to vote on.” Asked about the progressive Democrats who don’t want to sign on to the infrastructure package until the reconciliation bill is at least written, Hirono said, “I feel quite confident that the 50 Democrats who actually care about getting our economy back on track and millions of women — enabling them to get back to work ... that there will be an agreement on the budget bill.”
