The New York Democrat made the announcement on the Senate floor Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the past several months, both Democrats and Republicans have been hard at work putting together two major bills to meet the challenges of the 21st Century, \u201d Schumer stated.<\/p>\n<p>The vote on whether or not to proceed with debate on the bill will take place on Wednesday. This comes despite Republicans voicing their intent to block the upper chamber with moving forward. The vote on cloture will need 60 \u2018yes\u2019 votes, which means at least 10 Republicans would also have to be on board to proceed with the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis week the Senate aims to make even more progress on these tracks,\u201d Schumer continued. \u201cI will file cloture on a shell bill, which will act as a legislative vehicle for the bipartisan infrastructure framework.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Passing the bipartisan infrastructure agreement is key to making our economy more efficient and competitive for decades to come.<\/p>\n<p>There is no reason to let arbitrary deadlines dictate this process. It\u2019s more important to get it right rather than rush it.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rob Portman (@senrobportman) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/senrobportman\/status\/1417166374112202757?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 19, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio), who led talks with Democrats, said it\u2019s absurd to force a vote without finalized legislation. Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Republicans need to see the bill before a vote to debate.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/wall-to-wall-senator-tuberville-on-hbot-access-act-of-2021\/\">Wall To Wall: Senator Tuberville On HBOT Access Act Of 2021<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., talks to reporters as he leaves a news conference at the Capitol in Washington, Thursday, July 15, 2021.
