Aug. 7 (UPI) -- Senators voted Saturday afternoon to end the debate of a more than $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill, clearing yet another obstacle before passage and a trip to the House.
The body voted 67-27 to advance the bill with 18 Republicans joining Democrats to keep the legislation moving forward after a contentious debate over amendments. The test vote showed that the legislation continues to hang on to more than 10 GOP Senators it needs to ultimately pass the law.
