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.

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. The bill would invest in public transportation, passenger rail and broadband internet.
