NBC News: “Debate on a bipartisan infrastructure bill will begin in the House on Monday and go to the floor for a vote three days later, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Sunday. In a letter to House Democrats, Pelosi, D-Calif., said the vote will come the same day the country’s surface transportation act — which authorizes spending on highways, bridges and other infrastructure projects — expires.
“The Senate passed the $550 billion infrastructure bill last month with 69 votes, including all 50 Democratic-voting members. But progressive Democratic House members have threatened to tank the legislation unless moderates agree to pass President Joe Biden’s multitrillion-dollar Build Back Better package, which he has pitched as a ‘long-term investment’ to create jobs and lower costs for child care, higher education and prescription drugs.”
