And the question is, can I get all of those votes,\u201d said Biden. \u201cThis is a process. And all along, you\u2019ve told me I can\u2019t do any of it anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At a press conference on Saturday, Biden stressed that passing the bill is a process. The Democrat said he was glad the bipartisan infrastructure bill was able to be passed separately from the spending package so that new jobs could be created. This, as bickering continues within the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"President Biden Delivers Remarks on the Passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cSpvn9bXag4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>However, House progressives aren\u2019t as happy as Biden. Up until the vote took place, they were sticking to the standard that the only way to pass infrastructure was to pass Build Back Better by its side.<\/p>\n<p>Moderate Democrats worked with Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and gave assurances they would support the bill after it\u2019s scored by the Congressional Budget Office. They said they want to make sure it\u2019ll cost no more than what the White House is claiming it will.<\/p>\n<p>Six progressives including New York\u2019s Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Minnesota\u2019s Ilhan Omar, voted against infrastructure because they were promised the bills would be tied together. Others like Ro Khanna (Calif.) came around to voting for the infrastructure bill, but only after last minute attempts to force Build Back Better onto the floor. He said if they both went to the floor together without scoring, they would still have passed and he\u2019s concerned separating the bills would allow moderates an out of supporting Build Back Better.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst of all, what we want is to have the vote on both bills,\u201d said Khanna. \u201cThat\u2019s what the president wanted. He wanted the vote on both bills today and those votes, I believe, would pass. The question is if we have that conversation and vote on the rule, how do we know that we actually have the caucus\u2019 commitment to vote for Build Back Better two weeks from now.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;I believe in President Biden,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Sen_JoeManchin?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Sen_JoeManchin<\/a> says. &#8220;We just have to work together.

He said the U.S. isn\u2019t a left wing country and wants to keep spending at responsible levels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe just have to work together. We can\u2019t go too far left,\u201d said the senator.<\/p>\n<p>After passing the infrastructure bill, the House adjourned for a week long recess. The CBO still needs to score the Build Back Better legislation, but House leadership said they believe it can be passed by Thanksgiving, regardless of the infighting.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/report-hospital-fire-in-western-india-kills-11\/\">Report: Hospital Fire In Western India Kills 11<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2013 NOVEMBER 06: Joe Biden speaks during a press conference in the State Dining Room at the White House on November 6, 2021 in Washington, D.C.\u00a0 (Photo by &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":90,"featured_media":1891949,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-977689","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/977689","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/90"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=977689"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/977689\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1891949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=977689"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=977689"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=977689"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
