A trio of House Democrats also threatened to withhold their support for the legislation unless it included more expansive immigration measures.\u201dHouse Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC) told the press that he is getting together with his team to check if the Democrats have the votes for the spending package, noting they wouldn\u2019t bring a measure if they hadn\u2019t secured the votes.It\u2019s unclear as to whether or not Pelosi\u2019s plan will remain unchanged throughout the night.\u201cAs of Thursday afternoon, a vote had not yet been officially scheduled for the House to take up the Build Back Better Act, and it remained unclear if leadership had the votes necessary to pass the sweeping spending bill,\u201d CNN noted.Progressives have already held up the passage of the bipartisan infrastructure bill in an attempt to get their radical policies into the spending package.Discussion about what would be included in the package continued earlier this week as Pelosi requested paid family and medical leave to be included in the hearing on the social spending package.The legislation has been altered after Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) pushed for the price to be cut down from around $3.5 trillion.Manchin, a key Democratic vote, had not been in support of including the paid family leave measure in the package, which originally led to the Democrats cutting it from the legislation. The Democrats need all Democratic votes in the Senate to get the bill through.The White House has repeatedly made the claim that the spending bill would cost nothing to the American people, a line of thinking that was met with mockery.Fox News host Chris Wallace\u00a0said\u00a0last month, \u201cI\u2019ve been in Washington for more than 40 years and this might be the dumbest spin line I\u2019ve ever heard, that a $3 trillion bill costs nothing, because you\u2019re going to pay for it.\u201dThe Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
