The Senate will take a key vote Saturday to advance the bipartisan infrastructure bill
, with final passage right around the corner.
The bipartisan physical infrastructure package includes $550 billion in new spending on roads, bridges, transit, ports, broadband and water infrastructure and is the product of more than a month of negotiations. Although an agreement on a bipartisan framework was announced in June, final text of the 2,700 page bill was only released this past Sunday.
The bill has, however, divided the GOP conference. Although Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has voted to advance the legislation, many Senate Republicans have criticized its financing and questioned the purpose of the agreement, knowing that Democrats are planning to move forward on a second partisan package either way.
