19 Senate Republicans Made ‘History' for Joe Biden by Passing Bipartisan So-Called Infrastructure Bill
[Breitbart] Senate Republicans granted President Joe Biden a significant victory on Tuesday in helping the bipartisan so-called infrastructure bill pass through the Senate.

The Senate passed H.R. 3684, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, 69-30, which featured overwhelming Democrat support and strong Republican support.

Nineteen Senate Republicans voted for the infrastructure bill. The Senate Republicans that voted with Democrats for the legislation reportedly include:

1. Dan Sullivan (R-AK)
2. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV)
3. Mike Crapo (R-ID)
4. Roy Blunt (R-MO)
5. Richard Burr (R-NC)
6. Deb Fischer (R-NE)
7. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)
8. Rob Portman (R-OH)
9. Thom Tillis (R-NC)
10. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
11. Jim Risch (R-ID)
12. Chuck Grassley (R-IA)
13. Bill Cassidy (R-LA)
14. Kevin Cramer (R-ND)
15. Roger Wicker (R-MS)
16. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
17. John Hoeven (R-ND)
18. Susan Collins (R-ME)
19. Mitt Romney (R-UT)

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said on the Senate floor this bill, passed under Biden, is the first major infrastructure bill in over a decade.

Schumer said the bipartisan bill serves as the "first track" of the "two-track" strategy on infrastructure.

Vice President Kamala Harris presided over the Senate as the chamber passed the bill.

Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH), who is retiring soon, said the Senate made history by passing the bill through the Senate:
Never mind the Pubs can seldom find a single Dem to support any legislation they produce.
