Negotiations between House Democratic leadership and moderates in the caucus ended in a stalemate just after midnight Tuesday, with Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her team failing to find the support to advance Democrats’ $3.5 trillion spending bill and postponing the key vote.
Following a marathon Rules Committee hearing Monday, Pelosi and a group of moderates began hours of negotiations over a path to move forward with the budget, which contains the bulk of President Joe Biden’s agenda, and the bipartisan infrastructure package. The nine moderates, led by New Jersey Rep. Josh Gottheimer, have insisted that infrastructure be passed first, while Pelosi has vowed to address the budget first in an attempt to appease progressives demanding the same.
