House could vote this week on revised social spending plan that includes paid leave, SALT provisions

House Democrats could vote this week on a new version of President Biden's social spending plan, the Build Back Better bill "this week," according to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, although the timing could slip into the weekend, Majority Whip Steny Hoyer said Thursday. Asked if members might have to stay through the weekend, replied that it's a "possibility" and said there are a "number" of remaining issues.

Pelosi told committee chairs in a meeting Thursday morning that she hopes to have the votes lined up to bring the Build Back Better Act to the floor Thursday evening, and the bipartisan infrastructure bill to the floor Friday, according to two people familiar with the conversations. 

The latest iteration of the Build Back Better bill restores paid family and medical leave — after that provision had been dropped from the bill over opposition from Senator Joe Manchin. House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal announced Wednesday the provision was officially back in the proposal, hours after Republican Glenn Youngkin was projected to be the winner of the governor's race in Virginia.
