CNN
A key Republican and Democrat involved in negotiating a roughly $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure deal that will fulfill key priorities in President Joe Biden's agenda say they expect the bill will be introduced in the Senate on Sunday and that the chamber could move to approve it as early as this week.
"That certainly is my expectation and my hope," Maine Sen. Susan Collins, a Republican, told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" on Sunday. "We're going into the session today at 12 (noon), and I think we will be able to lay down the bill later today and begin perhaps consideration of some amendments. My hope is that we'll finish the bill by the end of the week." Collins also said she believes the bill will have the crucial support of at least 10 Senate Republicans needed to pass.
