It’s time for Democrats to stop threatening each other over infrastructure and reconciliation and pass Biden’s agenda, before it’s too late, writes ed_kilgore
Nancy Pelosi is in a high-stakes game with members of her own party. Photo: Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images As Washington pols and journalists were focused on the tragic developments in Afghanistan in recent days, some new drama emerged on the domestic front over the timing and content of must-pass legislation, with divisions sharpening among Democrats.
Pelosi countered with a public offer to create a “rule” that would include both the infrastructure bill and the budget resolution — essentially a pledge that one would pass in conjunction with the other. But that doesn’t mean the infrastructure bill would necessarily come up first, and it certainly wouldn’t keep Pelosi from holding back the infrastructure bill until her original demand of Senate passage of both the budget resolution and the reconciliation bill were met first.
The centrists aren’t just circling Pelosi with demands; behind her are Democratic progressives in both chambers who grudgingly supported the infrastructure deal in order to ensure party unity on the budget resolution and the reconciliation bill. And it’s also important to note that Democratic factions themselves are not necessarily on the same page when it comes to the crucial reconciliation bill. Perhaps Manchin and Sinema just want a less pricey package.
