President Joe Biden on Saturday hailed the congressional passage of his $1.2 trillion infrastructure plan as a "monumental step forward."
"I don't think it's an exaggeration to suggest that we took a monumental step forward as a nation," Biden said in remarks at the White House.
Biden also insisted that both houses of Congress would pass a separate and even bigger social spending package that has been held up by infighting between the progressive and moderate wings of his Democratic Party.
