Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said on Aug. 1 that she believes the $1 trillion infrastructure bill backed by the White House has the support of at least 10 Republican senators, suggesting the measure will clear the 60-vote filibuster.

Collins, in a comment on CNN’s “State of the Union,” said the legislation has enough backing to pass in the chamber this week.
