“These next few weeks are going to be critical for this administration,” Rep. Chrissy Houlahan tells smerconish, saying “we have responsibilities … to make sure we deliver on those two bills” as Democrats debate over the $3.5 trillion package.
The House Budget Committee is expected to vote on the individual components of the massive tax and spending bill, which would expand education, health care and childcare support, address the climate crisis and make further investments in infrastructure. But the legislation has raised concerns among moderates who worry some of the measures, including on drug pricing and climate, go too far, as progressives say they've already compromised enough.
Here's what to know"I don't think the speaker is going to bring a bill to the floor that's going to fail," Jayapal said."What we need is to take the temperature down a little bit .... The vote is going to drive up tensions not drive down tensions."But moderate Democrats met with House Democratic leaders in Pelosi's office on Friday afternoon, and afterward they said they expected the vote on the Senate's infrastructure bill to happen on Monday.
