The standoff between Speaker Nancy Pelosi and a group of House Democratic moderates will come to a head as soon as Monday, as leadership barrels ahead on President Joe Biden’s massive social spending plan without a guarantee it has the votes to pass.
“If there’s some sort of way to work this out, then of course we’re working toward that. I’ve said that to leadership,” Gottheimer said in an interview, adding that his group is refusing to “wait until December” for Biden’s infrastructure bill to pass. Pelosi released a letter over the weekend meant to appease the centrist group in some ways. The speaker laid out a timeline for passing both the infrastructure bill and reconciliation package by Oct. 1, when current surface transportation programs expire. She also vowed that while the budget framework would be written to the agreed-upon $3.
The social spending package is expected to be a massive build-out of Democratic priorities, from expanding Medicare to providing paid family leave, universal pre-K, immigration reform and action to fight climate change. Sinema and Sen. Joe Manchin both supported the budget resolution setting up a spending bill as large as $3.5 trillion but have declined to commit to supporting that final top-line number when it's turned into formal legislation. And Sinema's specific veto of that number Monday could put her legislation in fresh peril in the House, where she served for three terms.
