WASHINGTON — The Senate is expected to begin consideration of Democrats’ climate, tax and health care package on Saturday, leaving about two days for the party to shore up support for the bill.
Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., said Thursday that he’s expecting a vote on the motion to proceed Saturday afternoon, which would follow a nomination vote he scheduled for 12:30 p.m. Eastern time.
The motion to proceed is a simple majority threshold; no Republicans are expected to back it.
