US House Speaker Pelosi says that the House will postpone the vote on the infrastructure bill, adding, however, that most democratic members of the House who do not support a vote on infrastructure on Thursday have expressed support for the bill.
She explained that the White House says it is confident Congress will soon pass both infrastructure and social spending, climate bills.
She said:
As you know by now, the House will postpone the vote on the BIF. The good news is that most Members who were not prepared for a yes vote today have expressed their commitment to support the BIF. I thank the overwhelming number of House Dems who support both the BIF and the Build Back Better Act. It is both heartening and impressive to observe the strength of Members’ engagement in the discussion.
