The nine moderates, led by New Jersey Rep. Josh Gottheimer, have insisted that infrastructure be passed first, while Pelosi has vowed to address the budget first in an attempt to appease progressives demanding the same.<\/p>\n<p>Monday\u2019s planned vote would have advanced both bills and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, but moderates objected on the grounds that voting for it would still put the infrastructure bill on hold until the budget passed.<\/p>\n<p>In a letter Saturday, Pelosi said the House would aim to pass both bills before Oct. 1, but her offer did not sway them. She also offered to employ an obscure tactic that would have combined the procedural vote with a vote passing the budget framework, which moderates rejected.<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi did not say whether the key procedural vote would be held Tuesday. \u201cWe\u2019ll see tomorrow, won\u2019t we now?\u201d she said. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/08\/23\/moderate-dems-double-down-vow-block-budget-infrastructure-first\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: \u2018Take The Win\u2019: Moderate Dems Double Down, Vow To Block Budget Unless Infrastructure Bill Gets A Vote First)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7267168\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" readability=\"33\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7267168\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7267168 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/GettyImages-1336002829-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Rep.
