The Senate will begin voting next week on a massive infrastructure and social spending package.

Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced the plan on the Senate floor Thursday. The New York Democrat said the Senate would vote on both a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure measure as well as a budget resolution calling for an additional $3.5 trillion on social spending programs.
