If you want the traditional infrastructure spending, Pelosi told House members, you'll have to vote for the $3.5 trillion in left-wing Democratic priorities, too.
The reason is that the $3.5 trillion bill has just not come together in the Senate.
Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema will vote for, and without all 50 Democratic senators on board, the bill will go nowhere.
The $1.1 trillion traditional infrastructure bill has been passed by the Senate.
Why keep waiting for a $3.5 trillion pie-in-the-sky bill that might or might not happen and in any event will involve more infighting among Democrats? Pass the $1.1 trillion now.
Thirty-two percent of the registered voters polled say they will blame Democrats more than the GOP, while 24% say they will blame Republicans more than Democrats.
So Pelosi will cave on the bipartisan infrastructure bill, and then she and her party will cave on government funding.
