On Sunday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she is looking to advance the bipartisan infrastructure bill and a broader $3.5 trillion budget framework. While left-leaning articles highlight that Pelosi said passing the $3.5 trillion budget resolution would pave the way for the Democratic-controlled House to approve its sweeping reconciliation bill.
A left-leaning article by CBS News highlights that Pelosi said passing the #3.5 trillion budget resolution would pave the way for the Democratic-controlled House to approve its sweeping reconciliation bill encompassing Biden’s priorities for health care, childcare, and education. The move comes nine moderate Democrats told her they wouldn't vote for a budget resolution until the bipartisan infrastructure plan passes the House.
The Hill published a centrist article reporting that Pelosi’s idea did not satisfy a group of moderates who are pushing for a quick vote on passing the measure. Moderate Democrats have threatened to vote against the budget resolution unless the House first votes on the infrastructure bill.
A right-leaning article by Fox News highlights that moderate Democrats rejected the move by Pelosi to split the difference between them and party progressives on whether to pass the bipartisan bill first or delay it. Pelosi said she asked the Rules Committee to weigh “a rule that advances both the budget resolution and the bipartisan infrastructure package.”
