House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told Democrats on Monday night to "Embrace" the scaled-down infrastructure bill as the chamber plans to vote on the legislation this week.
Pelosi urged Democrats to support the limited infrastructure bill as President Joe Biden has encouraged Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to hold a vote on the Senate-passed Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, or the so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill, and the Build Back Better Act.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer urged Democrats to support the bill to convince the American people to support the bill.
Politico noted the comments were seen as a way to assure reluctant progressives to back the bill even though many of their leftist policies will either be drawn down or eliminated from the bill in an effort to gain Sens.
Congressional Progressive Caucus chair Pramila Jayapal said Monday night that the "Vast majority" of their policies are in the final bill.
Pelosi said Tuesday that Democrats "Are on the verge of something major. Transformative and bigger than anything else" in an effort to reassure Democrats.
Pelosi also said she is seeking assurances that whatever reconciliation bill the House passes, the Senate will pass the same bill.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
