Josh Gottheimer (D., N.J.), who said they will vote against the speaker&#8217;s budget resolution until the House passes the bipartisan $1.1 trillion infrastructure plan. &#8220;This is no time for amateur hour,&#8221; Pelosi said to her leadership team, a comment that multiple Democrats understood as a reference to the moderates, according to <em>Politico<\/em>. &#8220;There is no way we can pass those bills unless we do so in the order that we originally planned.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi&#8217;s comments place her on the side of the left-wing &#8220;Squad&#8221; and the Congressional Progressive Caucus, which gave the opposite ultimatum, saying they will vote against the infrastructure bill until the House passes the budget resolution.<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi&#8217;s spending package <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/dem-budget-includes-green-card-giveaway-mass-amnesty\/\">includes<\/a> mass amnesty for illegal immigrants and investments in climate change initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>One Democratic representative <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/newsletters\/huddle\/2021\/08\/17\/pelosi-loses-patience-with-centrists-on-infrastructure-deal-494008\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> <i>Politico<\/i> that Pelosi will bring the budget to the House floor and &#8220;dare moderates to vote no.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi will have trouble passing both bills if the group of moderates, whose number has grown since Friday from 9 to 11, stick to their guns.
