I don't know what the drop dead date on these bills is... but another deadline has come and gone.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told Democrats she will bring a Senate-passed bipartisan infrastructure bill to the floor later Thursday, rolling the dice with progressives who are vowing to vote down the roads-and-bridges package unless a bigger social spending package moves with it.
Pelosi “said she’s going to hold the vote open until we get a majority,” House Budget Committee Chairman John Yarmuth (D-Ky.), a member of Pelosi’s leadership team, told The Hill after Democrats’ meeting with President Biden in the Capitol.
Addressing her rank-and-file members after Biden, Pelosi rallied Democrats to give the president a victory as he embarks on a European trip Thursday to address the Group of 20 and a United Nations climate summit.
“When the president gets off that plane we want him to have a vote of confidence from this Congress,” Pelosi said, according to a source in the room.
“In order for us to have success, we must succeed today.”
Pelosi is effectively daring progressives to directly undermine Biden on the world stage.
