(CNN)While Democratic leaders plan to take a victory lap Monday to celebrate President Joe Biden signing the bipartisan infrastructure bill, other pressing issues remain for lawmakers when they return for session this week.
All eyes will turn to finishing negotiations on the separate multitrillion dollar economic bill that would expand the nation’s social safety net, as well as on government funding and the debt ceiling, which are both set to expire in early December.
In a letter to Democratic colleagues Sunday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said it is “likely” lawmakers will need to pass a continuing resolution — or a temporary extension in funding — to fund the government past December 3, the current deadline.
