Senate moves toward final vote on massive $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package


Washington, DC (CNN) The Senate will reconvene on Sunday at noon to resume consideration of the massive $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package. "We've been working hard all day on amendments and hopefully we can come to some agreement tomorrow," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on the floor Saturday. But Schumer said on Sunday that after days of negotiations, Republicans and Democrats still had not reached a deal on additional amendment votes to the bill, which could also speed up its final passage. "Democrats are ready and willing to vote on additional amendments to the bill before moving to final passage. Otherwise, we'll proceed by the book, and finish the bill," the New York Democrat said on the Senate floor as the chamber began a rare Sunday session.
