House passes bipartisan infrastructure bill on 228-206 vote
The U.S. House of Representatives late Friday voted 228-206 to approve a bipartisan infrastructure bill, in a move that sends the $1 trillion package over to President Joe Biden to be signed into law.
The House of Representatives gaveled in early in the day with Democratic leaders hoping to approve both measures, but by midafternoon there had been no voting on them, with the delay due to a demand from the moderates for an impact estimate of the social-spending package by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. The CBO isn’t expected to be able to provide a full estimate this week.
The Congressional Progressive Caucus has nearly 100 members, so the infrastructure bill easily could have gotten voted down, even as more than a dozen House Republicans supported it.But Pelosi didn’t show signs of backing off her plan during a news conference in the late afternoon. “I do believe that there are a large number of members of the progressive caucus who will vote for the bill,” Pelosi told reporters.
The infrastructure measure now will go to the president to be signed into law, given that it already cleared the Senate. The social-spending package is likely to be changed in the Senate, where portions of it face opposition from conservative Democrat Joe Manchin of West Virginia. iframe.twitter-tweet { width: 100% !important; } iframe.twitter-tweet { width: 100% !important; } Read more: Here’s what’s in the bipartisan infrastructure bill that the House aims to pass — and how it’s paid for
