| 摘要： | Members of the Senate have agreed to talk about a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill. By a vote of 67 to 32, seven more than needed, senators began the legislative process to consider H.R. 3684, the House bill chosen to be used as the vehicle. According to a White House fact sheet, the deal "invests $17 billion in port infrastructure," or $1 billion more than the $16 billion announced for ports and waterways weeks ago, when a bipartisan group of senators and President Joe Biden first announced an agreement that was later postponed. The bill faces further debate, and it is by no means certain that it will become law. It will advance along one track that requires a supermajority of at least 60 votes. One uncertainty is the promise House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi made to tie the fate of the "hard" infrastructure bill to that of a second, $3.5 trillion bill containing the rest of the Democrats' wish list. That bill could be sent to the House with a simple majority under a separate process, with Vice President Kamala Harris breaking any tie in the Senate. |
