Josh Gottheimer (N.J.), sent a letter on Thursday to Pelosi saying they won&#8217;t vote on the speaker&#8217;s $3.5 trillion budget resolution until Congress passes the smaller bipartisan infrastructure bill that the Senate approved this week.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Some have suggested that we hold off on considering the Senate infrastructure bill for months,&#8221; the lawmakers wrote. &#8220;We disagree. \u2026 We will not consider voting for a budget resolution until the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act passes the House and is signed into law.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The moderates&#8217; stance pits them against the House&#8217;s progressive caucus and threatens to wreck Pelosi&#8217;s plans to pass both bills. This week, leaders of the Congressional Progressive Caucus <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/house-dems-hold-infrastructure-bill-hostage\/\">told Pelosi<\/a> a majority of their members would not vote for the $1 trillion bipartisan bill until the Senate passes the $3.5 trillion package through the reconciliation process. Pelosi took the side of the progressives, making House passage of the bipartisan bill contingent on the success of the $3.5 trillion package.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Whatever you can achieve in a bipartisan way\u2014bravo, we salute it,&#8221; Pelosi said of the infrastructure bill. &#8220;But at the same time, we&#8217;re not going forward with leaving people behind.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The House faces a deadlock in progress on the bills if both sides stick to their guns. With a narrow Democratic majority in the House, Pelosi can only afford to lose three votes in order to pass the budget resolution, which the House <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/08\/11\/senate-passes-infrastructure-bill-and-budget-resolution.html\">plans to vote on<\/a> after it returns from recess on Aug. 23.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate on Wednesday passed a blueprint of the $3.5 trillion bill, a first step in the reconciliation process. The spending package allocates funds toward a host of liberal social policy interests, including major investments addressing health care, child care, climate change, and public housing.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democrats Progressive and moderate Democrats at odds on spending package  Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi \/Getty Images)  Philip Caldwell \u2022 August 13, 2021 &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-641343","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/641343","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=641343"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/641343\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=641343"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=641343"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=641343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
