Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) looking to derail the Biden administration\u2019s pet \u201chuman infrastructure\u201d package.<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi insisted, as late as Thursday morning, that she intends to hold a vote on the BIF and then a vote on the \u201creconciliation\u201d bill \u2014 a bill she\u2019s pushed as a \u201czero cost\u201d measure, despite its $3.5 trillion price tag.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpeaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday morning said she still is planning to have the U.S. House of Representatives vote later in the day on a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill, even as her progressive Democratic colleagues appeared set to block this key part of President Joe Biden\u2019s agenda,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/pelosi-says-she-still-plans-for-house-to-vote-on-infrastructure-bill-as-negotiations-continue-11633016758\">Marketwatch reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re on a path to win the vote,\u201d Pelosi insisted.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cBIF,\u201d as it\u2019s known, was inked weeks ago in the Senate, but is meeting resistance from progressive Democrats in the House who want a much larger infrastructure package that includes provisions for pet progressive projects, and who believe the massive \u201creconciliation\u201d bill, may never pass, particularly if Manchin and Sinema maintain their stand against the measure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have said clearly, and we reiterated this again for the speaker and we\u2019re in the same place that&nbsp;we will not be able to vote for the\u2026 infrastructure bill until the reconciliation bill has passed,\u201d progressive Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/live-news\/infrastructure-bill-manchin-biden\">told Fox News on Thursday<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe speaker understands that it isn\u2019t about the speaker\u2019s word,\u201d Jayapal added, referencing Pelosi\u2019s commitment to the BIF. The moderates, Jayapal said, is the\u201d group we\u2019re concerned about. So this isn\u2019t about trusting the speaker, it\u2019s not about trusting the president. It\u2019s really about the vote as an ironclad assurance in the Senate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will have a reconciliation bill. That is for sure,\u201d Pelosi assured reporters. She later admitted, however, that the BIF is in jeopardy because of the Senate chaos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s impossible, though, to persuade people to vote for the BIF, without the reassurances that the reconciliation bill will occur,\u201d she said, adding that, to alleviate her colleagues\u2019 anxiety, that \u201cthere needs to be agreed-upon legislative text for the $3.5 trillion package in order for there to be support among progressives for the smaller measure,\u201d because progressives are concerned that the package could change between a vote approving the BIF and a Senate vote on the reconciliation bill.<\/p>\n<p>But Sinema and Manchin are still on the fence. Manchin wants a $1.5 trillion cap on spending on a bill slated to pass through reconciliation \u2014 a process by which pure spending and budget bills can become law by a simple majority, rather than a super-majority vote. And despite claims to the contrary, it appears Manchin <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JacquiHeinrich\/status\/1443605436993843208\">presented a specific plan for his $1.5 trillion spending cap<\/a> to the White House and Democratic leadership in July, leaving Democratic leadership struggling to explain why negotiations are coming down to the wire.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"11.424242424242\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A senate aide confirms  authenticity of this document from July, reported by Politico \u2013 that Manchin proposed to Schumer a topline $1.5T reconciliation bill, with debate to begin no later than 10\/1\/2021.
