Washington — Senate Democrats are plotting the path forward for the bipartisan infrastructure bill after it cleared a key procedural hurdle Wednesday in a vote that capped weeks of negotiations between a bipartisan group of senators and the White House.

The Senate's passage of both are crucial steps toward enacting a key pillar of President Biden's economic agenda.
