The House annulled a vote scheduled for Monday to advance two key economic proposals, as centrist Democrats and party leaders failed to break a stalemate over how to proceed with President Joe Biden’s economic agenda.
The House will meet again at noon on Tuesday, as Democrats try to reach an agreement on how to move forward with legislation they consider an economic fortune and a lifesaver for households.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has pushed for the passage of a $ 1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill and her party’s $ 3.5 trillion separate spending plan. The process can take months, as the House needs to join the Senate to pass a budget resolution before lawmakers draft a final proposal.
Nine members of Pelosi College urged the California Democrat to pass Senate-approved infrastructure legislation this week and send it to the Biden counter. Pelosi wants to pair the bills to ensure that centrists are priced at $ 3.5 trillion and progressives who consider the infrastructure plan to be inappropriate are both measures.
Democrats fought to reach an agreement
Democratic leaders have a small margin of error in trying to approve their plan to expand the social security network without a Republican vote. They will have to win all 50 members of their Senate and all Democrats in the House minus three.
In a letter over the weekend, Pelosi told Democrats he intended to approve both the infrastructure bill and the Democrats’ spending plan before Oct. 1.
