Schumer eyeing Build Back Better vote as soon as week of Dec. 13
| Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is planning to bring President Biden’s social and climate spending bill to the floor as soon as the week of Dec. 13, a source familiar confirmed to The Hill.
Schumer’s plan is to bring the bill, known as Build Back Better, to the Senate floor once Democrats finish their conversations with the parliamentarian, who provides guidance on what can be included in a bill passed through budget reconciliation. “As soon as the necessary technical and procedural work with the Senate parliamentarian has been completed… the Senate will take up this legislation,” Schumer told reporters during a press conference on Tuesday. |
