Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said a vote on the bill is scheduled for February 7.
“I know the vast majority of senators want to get this done, but moving forward quickly will require bipartisan cooperation. Senators must tune out the noise of those who want this deal to fail for their own political ends,” he said.
