The U.S. Senate by a vote of 69 - 30 approved President Biden and the democratic proposal in a bipartisan vote. Nineteen republicans joined all 50 democrats in voting yes. Louisiana's U.S. Senator John Kennedy voted against the bill and followed the advise of his idol Donald Trump. The bill will now go to the U.S. House along with the democratic parallel bill being considered by the Senate when that bill is completed.
The legislation is a good bill that will benefit every state, add more volume to the economic recovery and create new good paying jobs. It is another step for the President and his party's plan and policies to move the country forward for the long term. It is also another example how to govern and address the issues with real plans and policy and not with failed ideology. Those 19 republicans who supported the bill came to realize their own party's failure to address Infrastructure the past four years and accepted the President's desire for bipartisan support.
So now the attention will turn to the democratic parallel bill in the Senate and the action by the U.S. House on both bills before they become law. It is a great time for America and its people to see a President who governs by plans and policies and not by hateful divisive rhetoric and ideology. Will those 19 republicans continue their participation with the democratic party or will they revert to the same old do nothing party. Time will give us the answer.
In the mean time, President Biden has a good start on "building back a better America."
