Sanders: All Democrat senators need to agree on framework of economic bill before House vote

All 50 Democrats in the Senate need to agree upon the framework on the massive economic bill before the House votes on the bill this week, Senate Budget Chairman Bernie Sanders said Sunday.
"I think there has got to be a framework agreed upon in the Senate that all of us know is going to be implemented before the members of the House vote," Sanders -- an Independent progressive who caucuses with Democrats -- told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union." "You don't have to have all of the legislative language, but you have to have a statement which says A, B, C, D, and E is going to be in the package and 50 members of the Senate are supporting it."
The Vermont senator's remarks come after House Democratic leaders indicated they are aiming to get votes on both the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill and the larger $1.75 trillion economic plan as soon as Tuesday. The schedule has not been finalized.
