After nearly three months in a holding pattern and a long day of back-and-forth negotiations among House Democrats, the chamber approved a sweeping, multi-year infrastructure funding package late on Nov. 5 that will provide an estimated $1 trillion for a wide range of infrastructure categories, including highways, transit, rail, water, power and broadband.
The vote, which occurred about 11:30 p.m., was 228 to 206. Thirteen Republicans joined 215 Democrats in favor of the bill; while six Democrats sided with 200 Republicans against it.
