Summary
[The Democrats of the US House of Representatives plan to vote on the infrastructure bill next week]The Democratic leaders of the US House of Representatives plan to vote on the infrastructure bill passed by the Senate next Monday, a move that may exacerbate divisions within the Democratic Party. The timing of the vote on the infrastructure bill will appease moderate Democrats, who were assured last month that the $550 billion package supported by bipartisan senators will be delivered to the House of Representatives for voting by September 27. In exchange, they supported the $3.5 trillion budget outline and used it as the starting point for this broader spending bill. However, progressive Democrats believe that if the House of Representatives votes on the infrastructure bill before the House of Representatives and Senate pass the broader social and other expenditure bills, then they will not vote in favor.
