U.S: Mcconnell Says Senate Vote On Unfinished Infrastructure Plan Will Fail

U.S. Senate Republicans are set to thwart Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s bid to start Senate debate on a still-unfinished infrastructure plan, but key GOP lawmakers said that the deal is not dead and that they will be ready to move ahead next week. Schumer’s decision to force an early test vote Wednesday afternoon spurred a faster pace in protracted talks for a $579 billion infrastructure plan, but not the completed deal that GOP senators are demanding as a prerequisite to begin debate.
