Moderate Dems reject latest Pelosi move to slow-walk infrastructure bill
Moderate Democrats appeared Sunday to reject a move by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to split the difference between them and party progressives on whether to pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill first or delay it until after the Senate produces a reconciliation bill, including Democrats' $3.5 trillion spending plan.
"While we appreciate the forward procedural movement on the bipartisan infrastructure agreement, our view remains consistent," the nine Democrats who promised to block their party's budget resolution until the House passes the infrastructure bill said. "We should vote first on the Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework without delay and then move to immediate consideration of the budget resolution," the members added. Pelosi, D-Calif., said Sunday she asked the Rules Committee to weigh "a rule that advances both the budget resolution and the bipartisan infrastructure package." The speaker's proposed half-measure would essentially tie one procedural step of passing the bipartisan infrastructure bill to the same step in the House passing the budget resolution. But that would not change Pelosi's fundamental position, her chief spokesman Drew Hammill said: The infrastructure bill won't pass until the Senate produces a reconciliation bill – a process that could drag well into the fall.

They always voice No to the partisan budget resolution so whatever progressives are trying to do won't work. In the end, wait the senate republicans walk away from the infra bill entirely and we are back to screaming contest. |

Re: Moderate Dems reject latest Pelosi move to slow-walk infrastructure bill
Threats from moderates have infuriated progressive Democrats, who, emboldened by their successful effort to twist the Biden administration to introduce a new eviction moratorium, have repeatedly warned House Democratic leaders not to deviate from their original plan.
In a letter to Pelosi on Tuesday, the leaders of the Congressional Progressive Caucus said a poll of their 96 members confirmed a majority would withhold their support for the bipartisan infrastructure bill until the Senate passed the reconciliation bill. White House officials have said that they remain closely attuned to the growing tensions in the House and Senate. Pelosi and Biden speak regularly, and aides have started holding thrice-weekly conference calls, according to sources familiar with the matter. But top Democrats in Congress see no alternative to the path they are headed down and are hopeful that the two-track strategy will prove successful as in 2010. “I am very pleased to report that the two-track strategy is right on track,” Schumer said. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...-chuck-schumer |
