Nine Moderate Dems Threaten To Withhold Votes On $3.5T House Budget Unless Pelosi Holds Vote On Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill

Nine Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday, saying that the House should vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill before voting on the budget resolution that should clear the path for the Democrats’ larger partisan package. If Pelosi does not bring the infrastructure measure to the floor, they suggest they will imperil passage of the budget.

In the letter, reported by Punchbowl news, the lawmakers discussed the importance of the bipartisan infrastructure package and outlined their argument for voting on it before the budget measure.
