Nancy takes another L....

quote:

House Democratic leaders on Thursday abandoned a second attempt to clear the Senate-passed bipartisan infrastructure bill as progressives held firm to their refusal back it without a concrete agreement on a separate social spending package.

It's the second time House Democratic leadership has punted the bill and it came after President Biden made a rare visit to the Capitol to beseech House Democrats to help him advance his agenda as a matter of demonstrating that American democracy can still function.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and her leadership team wanted to clear the bipartisan infrastructure bill to give Biden a legislative victory as he departs for Europe for a Group of 20 meeting and climate change summit, as well as boost Democratic gubernatorial candidates in Virginia and New Jersey.

The bipartisan infrastructure bill would also renew federal highway programs that are currently set to expire on Oct. 31. The House will instead vote Thursday night on another extension through Dec. 3.

This vote doesn’t happen by Tuesday night and it may never happen.

Good....I want to see so much gridlock between all of the factions that NOTHING gets done since it's all bad at this point anyway.

At this point, I'm starting to believe Dems have no intentions of passing this bill, which would actually be a win for America.

Nancy never brings a bill to the floor unless she has the votes.

Keeping things in pisses some Dems off. Taking things out pisses off others. Hate to see it.
