A $1 trillion infrastructure package that is a top priority for U.S. President Joe Biden secured enough votes to pass in the Senate on Tuesday, a bipartisan victory for the White House as it aims to provide the nation’s biggest investment in decades in roads, bridges, airports and waterways.
Voting was continuing in the 100-seat chamber after the measure secured the 50 votes needed for passage.
Polls show that the drive to upgrade America’s infrastructure, hammered out by a bipartisan group of senators over months of negotiations, is broadly popular with the public.
