Opposition from within her caucus has threatened to derail the speaker&#x27;s plans, leaving Democrats looking for a path forward as they return to the Capitol.<\/p>\n<p>A group of nine centrist House Democrats on Monday reiterated their call for the chamber to vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill before it considers the spending on social programs and climate policy. As Democrats hold a narrow majority in the House, the nine lawmakers could sink the budget resolution on their own \u2014 delaying progress on an economic agenda that Democrats hope will boost households and improve their fortunes in next year&#x27;s midterm elections.<\/p>\n<h2>CNBC Politics<\/h2>\n<p>Read more of CNBC&#x27;s politics coverage:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Capitol police investigating bomb threat near Library of Congress, buildings evacuated<\/li>\n<li>Taliban\u2019s pledge of peaceful leadership is quickly coming undone amid reports of beatings, deaths<\/li>\n<li>Sen. Bernie Sanders to tout Democrats&#x27; $3.5 trillion budget plan in red Indiana, Iowa <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is unclear if Pelosi will change her plans before next week. The White House this week endorsed her strategy to hold the procedural vote to advance the infrastructure, social spending and voting rights plans, then pass the budget resolution.<\/p>\n<p>In a letter to her caucus this week, she said delays in passing the measure would jeopardize the party&#x27;s policy goals.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;When the House returns on August 23rd, it is essential that we pass the budget resolution so that we can move forward united and determined to realize President Biden&#x27;s transformative vision and deliver historic progress,&quot; she wrote.<\/p>\n<p>If Pelosi pulls off her plan, the infrastructure bill would await a final vote in the House \u2014 and then Biden&#x27;s signature \u2014 while both chambers of Congress go about writing the $3.5 trillion spending plan. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., gave committees a Sept. 15 target to finish their portions of the legislation.<\/p>\n<p>The bill is expected to include a Medicare expansion, universal pre-K, wider access to paid leave and child care, extensions of strengthened household tax credits and policies designed to encourage clean energy adoption. The proposal may get scaled back as Senate Democratic centrists including Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona criticize the $3.5 trillion price tag.<\/p>\n<p>One Democratic vote against the proposal would sink it in the Senate, which is split 50-50 by party.<\/p>\n<p>The nine House Democrats have pushed for final passage of the infrastructure bill as they argue a later vote would delay projects to renew American transportation, broadband and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;We have the votes to pass this legislation right now, which is why I believe we should first vote immediately on the bipartisan infrastructure package, send it to the President&#x27;s desk, and then quickly consider the budget resolution, which I plan to support,&quot; Rep. Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey, one of the nine Democrats, said in a statement Friday.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;We need to get people to work and shovels in the ground,&quot; he said.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Subscribe to CNBC on YouTube.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/08\/20\/house-democrats-to-hold-votes-on-biden-economic-plans.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The House returns to Washington next week to forge ahead with President Joe Biden&#x27;s sprawling economic agenda.
