9 House Dems Tell Pelosi They Won’t Vote on Budget Resolution Till Infrastructure Bill Passes

Nine moderate House Democrats told House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that they won't vote on a budget resolution that lays out $3.5 trillion in spending until an infrastructure bill passes, the Associated Press reported.

The resistance is another hurdle for the proposed spending legislation, established as one of President Joe Biden's main priorities since taking office.

The House remains narrowly divided along party lines, and many Republicans are anticipated to resist the legislation. Democrats can lose only three votes and still prevail in finalizing the resolution without Republican support.
