Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) signaled that Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-WV) comments earlier will not impact what House progressives do this week, CNN reports.
She said they will vote for both the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill and the $1.75 trillion budget reconciliation bill — without knowing what Manchin will ultimately do.
Said Jayapal: “The president says he can get 51 votes for the bill, we are going to trust him… We’re tired of continuing to wait for one or two people.”
