  • House Passes Biden's $1 trillion Infrastructure Plan
    A $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill was passed

After months of tense negotiations, the House of Representatives has passed a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill, 228-206, fulfilling a major priority for President Biden's domestic agenda and cementing a political victory for Democrats.

Significant investments in roads, bridges, railroads, and broadband internet are included in the plan.

Six progressive Democrats voted against the bill after a broader social expenditure bill failed to gather enough support for a floor vote on Friday.

President Joe Biden took last-minute calls with key House members as Speaker Nancy Pelosi pushed through two critical votes on the Democratic agenda: the President's $1.75 trillion "Build Back Better" social spending and climate policy package and the separate $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan.

The final vote on the infrastructure plan, already passed by the Senate, was passed 228-206, late Friday night, with 13 Republicans joining Democrats in favor of the bill, and six Democrats voting against it. The bill will now be sent to Biden's desk to be signed. 

After the Senate passed the law, it took 87 days for the House to approve the spending, which included two presidential trips to the Capitol and hundreds of discussions between the White House and members of Congress.
