“After hours of infighting, House Democrats on Tuesday struck a deal that would approve their $3.5 trillion budget resolution, set up floor action on the bipartisan infrastructure bill by Sept. 27 and advance voting rights legislation,” Axios reports.
“The agreement allows all sides to say they got something, though none can claim a total win.”
The Washington Post notes the resolution passed 220 to 212.
