ABC News
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she still plans a vote on the bipartisan infrastructure package on Thursday despite progressive opposition.
A high-stakes moment for President Joe Biden's agenda and maybe House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's most formidable challenge yet arrived Thursday with her saying she plans to go ahead with a vote on a bipartisan infrastructure bill -- despite progressive Democrats vowing to defeat it.
"We're on a path to win. I don't want to even consider any options other than that," Pelosi told reporters at her weekly news conference Thursday morning. "We go in it to win it."
Earlier, as she arrived on Capitol Hill, pressed by a reporter that the bill is facing "insurmountable opposition at the moment," Pelosi responded that it's "our plan" to bring the bill to vote Thursday, her self-imposed deadline.
"Hour by hour," she responded. "You're moment by moment. I'm hour-by-hour."
