(Al Drago-Pool\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Though Democrats hold narrow majorities in both the House and Senate, moderates and progressives are at odds over the two packages, which include the majority of President Joe Biden\u2019s domestic agenda. Moderates like Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona have objected to the budget\u2019s size and scope, with the former <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/09\/20\/joe-manchin-push-budget-back-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">calling for a \u201cpause\u201d<\/a> on the budget until 2022 and the latter vowing to not support it without first passing the infrastructure bill.<\/p>\n<p>Progressives, however, have vowed the opposite, pledging to tank the infrastructure bill if the broader spending package fails. Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal, the chair of the House Progressive Caucus, told CNN Tuesday that \u201cmore than half\u201d of her caucus was prepared to vote against the infrastructure bill without first passing the reconciliation package, which addresses long-sought Democratic priorities from climate change to child care.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[We] will not move the bipartisan bill without the reconciliation bill being passed,\u201d Jayapal said.<\/p>\n<p>Content created by The Daily Caller News Foundation is available without charge to any eligible news publisher that can provide a large audience.
