WASHINGTON (AP) — Overcoming skeptics, the Senate is poised to approve the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan Tuesday. This as a growing coalition of Democrats and Republicans prepared to lift the first phase of President Joe Biden’s rebuilding agenda to passage. Final Senate votes are expected around midday, with passage sending the bill to the House. All told, some 70 senators appear poised to vote for approval. After that, the Senate will immediately launch votes on Biden’s next package, the $3.5 trillion plan that is a more strictly Democratic undertaking. That will begin a debate that will extend into fall.
