(Worthy News) – Senate Republicans on Wednesday voted to block the Senate from debating an infrastructure proposal, saying they needed more time to finalize and negotiate the details of the bill.
The procedural motion to debate failed in a 49-51 vote. Republicans say they will still vote on the bill, but not on Wednesday, according to NBC News.
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said he called the vote as part of an effort to get his colleagues to finish writing the bill before Congress goes on a month-long August recess. [ Source: Just the News (Read More…) ]
