WASHINGTON (AP) — Two victories in a row for Democratic Pres. Joe Biden. Democrats pushed a $3.5 trillion framework for bolstering family services, health, and environment programs through the US Senate, hours after they passed a $1.2 Trillion dollar infrastructure passage.

The chamber’s party-line approval of the budget resolution advances President Joe Biden’s expansive vision for reshaping federal priorities.  The budget’s passage was crucial for a president and party set on training the government’s fiscal might at assisting families, creating jobs and fighting climate change. That’s because the fiscal blueprint will protect a subsequent bill this fall actually enacting Democrats’ policies from GOP Senate filibusters that would kill it.
