Schumer wants Senate votes soon on Biden’s domestic agenda

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Friday he wants his chamber to vote on pivotal budget and infrastructure legislation before lawmakers break for their August recess, and warned he may delay that summer break to allow more time for work on President Joe Biden’s top domestic goals. Schumer’s plans underscore the priority his party is giving to Biden’s push to pump trillions of dollars into building roads, pipelines and other infrastructure projects, as well as bolstering health care, services for families, programs combating climate change and other initiatives. Republicans are expected to vote solidly against most of Biden’s domestic legislation, and Democrats will need virtual unanimity to push the measures through the closely divided Congress. That spending bill — a pillar of Biden’s domestic agenda — would finance health care, family, climate and other programs.
