A Big Week for Biden’s Agenda

“Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Saturday that she wanted House Democrats to pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill, the reconciliation package and government funding this coming week, an enormous goal with a three votes to spare,” Punchbowl News reports.

“There are few people in Pelosi’s leadership who believe the caucus is ready to pass the reconciliation package, given the massive divides between moderates and progressives. And as of right now, the House doesn’t have an agreement with the Senate on the size, scope and content of the multi-trillion dollar social spending legislation.”

“But Pelosi’s push seems aimed at creating urgency in the caucus — a tried and true legislative tactic with lots of risk, but also significant reward if successful.”
