Lawmakers to Vote on 2 Major Bills as soon as Tomorrow

It’s a big week on Capitol Hill! Members of the House of Representatives are expected to vote on both the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Bill and the $1.75 trillion Economic Plan as soon as tomorrow according to sources familiar with the plans. A new version of the bigger bill could be introduced soon and the rules committee could take up the matter this afternoon then both bills could be voted upon tomorrow but that schedule has yet to be finalized. Last Thursday, President Biden made a stop on Capitol Hill before heading overseas to persuade lawmakers to vote on the bill but that plan failed. Once each bill passes the House, the Infrastructure Bill will go directly to President Biden’s desk for his signature and the Economic Bill will advance to the Senate for a vote. Congress also passed a second temporary extension of the highway trust fund which ensures 3,700 federal employees will not be furloughed, that fund was set to expire yesterday and has been extended until December 3rd which is the same day that funding runs out and the debt ceiling will reach it’s limit.
