Associated Press: “Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus whose support will be crucial for both bills, said lawmakers want more than just a framework for Biden’s plan before they give their votes for the smaller infrastructure package.”
Said Jayapal: “We want the whole bill. We want to vote on both bills at the same time.”
Playbook: “There’s been some talk by leadership of having an infrastructure vote this week if a BBB framework comes together in time. But don’t expect progressives to just roll over and accept that: They’re already indicating that a mere agreement is insufficient.”
