Nine House Democrats urged Pelosi to allow Passage of Infrastructure Bill before Budget Resolution

Nine Democrat House of Representatives called on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to quickly allow a vote on the infrastructure bill approved by the Senate before the House considers the larger $3.5 trillion budget resolution.

Pelosi told reporters earlier this week that she will not allow a vote on the infrastructure bill until the reconciliation process is complete. The Senate advanced the resolution, but details of the budget have yet to be hammered out. The Senate would enter in details after the House passed the resolution.

“I’m not taking up that,” Pelosi said, referring to the infrastructure bill.
