Democrats Could Pass Infrastructure, Spending Bills by Tuesday

Submitted by jhartgen@abi.org on

House Democrats are looking to pass both the social spending and bipartisan infrastructure bills as early as Tuesday, a leadership aide told The Hill. An aide for Democratic leadership told Axios that committees were notified by House leaders that they had to finish any changes on the spending bill by Sunday and that the House Rules Committee could meet as soon as Monday to mark it up. An aide told The Hill that committees have until Sunday to make revisions to the social spending bill's text and that both bills could be voted on as early as Tuesday, though the aide noted that the schedule was “not set in stone yet.” “Pens down Sunday for committees to make any changes for revised text. Then Rules would meet as soon as Monday, floor as soon as Tuesday. Schedule not set in stone yet,” the aide said. The projected deadline comes after progressives scored another win earlier this week to delay a vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill.
