The United States House of Representatives followed Senate's footsteps by approving a bipartisan $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill in a 228-206 vote, sending it to President Joe Biden's desk for a final signature.
Despite being significantly smaller than the original $2.25 trillion proposal made by the Biden administration in March, the legislation still delivers significant investments in the US infrastructure over the upcoming years. Among other things, the investment would include support for rebuilding roads and bridges as well as funding new climate resilience and broadband initiatives.
The lower chamber of Congress did delay the vote on a $1.75 trillion social spending package, however, progressive and moderate Democrats later managed to reach an agreement to vote on the bill before November 21.
