The House’s budget panel summoned a rare Saturday session to bundle more than 2,400 pages of bill text the chamber’s Democrats have written over the last month to fulfill their $3.5 trillion spending plan.
In a letter to her own on Saturday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi touted the Budget Committee markup, while noting that the package will change before she brings it to a floor vote since "negotiations continue with the Senate ..."Showing movement on the social spending package is especially important now, sincefor calling up the separate infrastructure package top Democrats have tried to advance in tandem with the social spending plan.
The chair noted the panel’s “ministerial role” in advancing the legislation Democrats are calling the “Build Back Better” plan. “We all need to realize that we can advocate passionately, we can work tirelessly, but the proof of our conviction is not threatening to bring the house down. We must have both bills,” Price said.
