Axios: “After weeks of long nights and endless Zoom calls, a bipartisan group of senators finally reached a deal on ‘the major issues’ in their $1.2 trillion ‘hard’ infrastructure package, GOP senators involved in the talks announced Wednesday. It will likely be days before the group finishes writing the bill, but the Senate can begin debating the legislation in earnest now that they have resolved the outstanding issues. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Wednesday that the Senate could vote as early as Wednesday night to advance the proposal, the second time they will vote on this procedural measure. The deal is expected to cost $1.2 trillion over eight years, or $974 billion over five years, and offers more than $579 billion in new spending.”
