Senate Republicans rejected an effort Wednesday to begin debate on a big infrastructure deal that a bipartisan group of senators brokered with President Joe Biden. But supporters in both parties remained hopeful of another chance possibly as soon as Monday. The party-line vote was 51-49 against proceeding, as Republicans said the bipartisan group needed more time to wrap up the deal and review the details. Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer switched his vote to “no” at the end, a procedural step that would allow him to move to reconsider.
