US Senate to Debate Social Infrastructure Build Back Better Budget

Senators returning to Capitol Hill after the Thanksgiving recess are scheduled to kick off debate on a nearly $2 trillion budget package that aims to promote severe-weather resilience and reduce congestion across mobility networks.

After a procedural review process, the House-passed Build Back Better Act will be called up for consideration in the Senate. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced a deadline of Christmas to pass the measure via a fast-track budget reconciliation process.
