Nancy Pelosi In Showdown With Centrist Democrats Over Infrastructure Bill
HuffPost
Democrats are fighting among themselves over the order in which they pass bills they say they all support.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is staring down a small group of centrist Democrats ahead of key votes this week on the party’s agenda. Nine moderates have threatened to withhold support from a $3.5 trillion budget resolution until the House passes a bipartisan infrastructure bill that the Senate already approved earlier this month. “We can pass the infrastructure measure now, and then quickly consider reconciliation and the policies from climate to health care to universal pre-K that we believe are critical,” the centrist Democrats, led by Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), wrote in The Washington Post on Monday.More Related News
