WASHINGTON, (Reuters) – The U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote on President Joe Biden’s $1.75 trillion climate and social spending bill. This comes after a long delay from the chamber’s top Republican.

Democrats have a narrow majority in Congress and want to move Biden’s enormous domestic investment bill. While it is now less than their original $3.5 billion plan, the bill still intends to invest millions for education, health care, climate change, and other purposes.

At 8 AM (1300 GMT), the chamber will meet again and there will be a vote shortly after. The Senate would need to approve the measure, which is expected to be subjected to changes. Before Biden can sign it into law, the Senate must also approve it.

CNN was informed by Katherine Clark (Democratic U.S. Representative), that Clark would bring up the vote “as soon as possible”

This is after Kevin McCarthy, Republican House Minority leader of the Republican House of Representatives, spoke more than seven hours on Thursday night. His remarks included a listing of Republican grievances.
