The Senate continued to vote Tuesday on amendments to the sweeping infrastructure legislation, working through some hiccups and tension about how quickly to move to a final vote.
WASHINGTON —
"There's an excellent change that it will be a bipartisan success story for the country. And to try to truncate an amendment process on something of this magnitude, I think, is a mistake," McConnell said."So my best advice to the majority leader would be that slow but steady wins the race." Several modest and bipartisan amendments were adopted, and others were defeated. None disrupted the core of the bill, which was led by Sens. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., and Rob Portman, R-Ohio, and won 67 votes last week to break a filibuster and begin debate.
"The Senate is going to stay here until we finish our work. I've told my members to keep their schedule flexible, as we need to work through the weekends to get the job done," Schumer told reporters."I hope we can use our time in the Senate efficiently. The longer it takes to finish this bill, the longer we'll be here."
