U.S. House breaks stalemate to advance bipartisan infrastructure bill

Democrats-held House of Representatives on Tuesday voted to advance a bipartisan 1-trillion-dollar infrastructure bill and approve a 3.5-trillion-dollar budget resolution, breaking the stalemate due to intra-party disagreement over the chamber's priority.

In a 220-212 party line vote, the lower chamber adopted a measure that would allow Democrats to write and approve the 3.5-trillion-dollar social spending package without Republican support, while clearing the path for the final vote of the Senate-passed infrastructure plan.
