Moderate Democratic members wanted to see the Congressional Budget Office\u2019s report on the social spending package, and the progressive wing of the party pushed back against passing the bipartisan bill without attaching it to the massive plan that has been deemed the \u201chuman infrastructure\u201d bill.\u00a0\u201cAs we\u2019ve consistently said, there are dozens of our members who want to vote both bills \u2026 out of the House together,\u201d said Representative Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), the progressive caucus chair. \u201cHowever, if our six colleagues still want to wait for a CBO score, we would agree to give them that time \u2014 after which point we can vote on both bills together.\u201dJayapal ended up voting for the infrastructure bill.The Daily Wire also reported that progressives had been \u201cholding up the bipartisan infrastructure bill in an attempt to pressure moderate Democrats in the Senate, such as Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), to agree to the social spending bill.\u201dAs The Daily Signal pointed out, the bill passing the house paves the way for Biden\u2019s \u201csocial spending package.\u201d\u201cPelosi made the promise after winning approval of a procedural rule to make the social spending bill easier to pass, to get the party\u2019s progressive wing on board for the more popular infrastructure measure.\u00a0Even so, Ocasio-Cortez and five other progressives voted against the infrastructure bill, which they long had demanded be considered at the same time as the less popular social spending bill,\u201d the outlet reported. \u201cThe price tag of the social spending measure is down from the $3.5 trillion originally proposed by Biden and congressional Democrats and dubbed the Build Back Better Act, a name that echoes Biden\u2019s 2020 campaign slogan.\u00a0On the House floor later in the night, Pelosi said the social spending bill not only would pass before Thanksgiving but would be more \u2018transformative\u2019 than the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare.\u201dThe Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
