The Senate advanced a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill through a procedural vote Wednesday, setting up a final passage vote for Thursday, while the House Ways and Means Committee approved a revised version of the child tax credit expansion that would cost $96 billion over ten years. Fifteen amendments were introduced across both chambers this week, though only three made it to floor consideration, continuing the pattern of limited substantive debate on proposed changes.
