Biden Takes Victory Lap After Infrastructure Bill Vote...Trump is mad

President Joe Biden hailed the Senate’s passage of a $1 trillion infrastructure package as a sign that the Senate can work together on a bipartisan basis.
The Senate passed its bipartisan $1 trillion infrastructure bill with 69 votes on Tuesday, setting it up to be sent to the House of Representatives.
Biden noted that when he first announced his candidacy for president, his desire to work together with Republicans was seen as a relic of the past.
“I know compromise is hard for both sides, but it’s important, it’s necessary for democracy to be able to function,” he said. “Today, we prove that democracy can still work.”
The bill passed on a bipartisan basis, with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and others such as Sens Roy Blunt of Missouri, Bill Cassidy of Missouri and Rob Portman of Ohio, joining in.
“I know it wasn’t easy, for the Republicans who supported this bill, you showed a lot of courage,” he said.
Mr Portman, who is retiring at the end of his term, praised the passage of the legislation ahead of the vote.
“Today is infrastructure day,” Sen Rob Portman of Ohio, who is retiring at the end of this term and was one of the key negotiators on the legislation, said.
