Pelosi sets vote on Biden's infrastructure agenda despite moderate Dems' revolt

The House is expected to vote Tuesday on a procedural measure to advance key parts of President Joe Biden’s domestic agenda despite some Democratic opposition.

The House is expected to vote Tuesday afternoon on a procedural measure that will advance key parts of President Joe Biden’s domestic agenda after a group of moderate Democrats threatened to unravel it all. House Democratic leaders had attempted to pull off a risky maneuver late Monday to approve a $3.5 trillion budget framework that will move along Biden’s infrastructure plan, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was forced to abandon that plan at the 11th hour after negotiations fell flat around midnight. On Tuesday, Democrats reconvened behind closed doors and announced a deal was close to emerging between the warring factions. "I’m sorry that we couldn’t land the plane last night, and that you all had to wait. But that’s just part of the legislative progress. I think we’re close to landing the plane," Pelosi said to her Democratic colleagues, according to a source familiar with discussions.
