Some Moderate Democrats Push Back, Warn They Will Not Support Radical Left’s Spending Package

Hannah Bleau 25 Jun 2021

Some moderate Democrats are warning that they will not support the radical left’s spending package, which includes demands for “reconciliation instructions for trillions of dollars in additional spending,” according to reports.

Oregon Rep. Kurt Schrader (D-OR), a member of the Blue Dog Coalition, said he is planning to vote against the proposal, and another moderate Democrat, who requested to remain anonymous, said the same, according to Roll Call. That prompts concerns for Democrats, as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) caucus holds a slim majority in the lower chamber.

According to Roll Call, the 81-year-old Speaker can “only lose two more Democratic votes and still adopt the budget resolution in her narrowly divided 220-211 chamber, since no Republicans are likely to vote for it, as budget resolutions are designed to be partisan wish lists”:

    Progressives worry that Senate and House moderates who helped negotiate the bipartisan deal for $579 billion in new infrastructure spending won’t provide the votes needed to pass a reconciliation package that could top $5 trillion in additional spending.

    The bipartisan deal is mostly focused on physical infrastructure, like roads, bridges and transit, as well as related things like broadband and clean energy. The reconciliation bill would include potentially more infrastructure spending, as well as funding for other Biden priorities like climate initiatives, child care and education assistance and national paid leave.

The news comes on the heels of President Biden announcing a $953 billion infrastructure deal — which includes $559 billion in new spending — after meeting with a bipartisan group of senators. The group included Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Joe Manchin (D-WV), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Rob Portman (R-OH), Mitt Romney (R-UT), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), Jon Tester (D-MT), and Mark Warner (D-VA).

Unless Queen Nan gives them permission to vote nay. If she has the required votes without them...

When I found out about this practice I quit looking at voting records. Like everything else in politics, they may be bogus.

Democrats are doubling down on election fraud, its the only chance they have for a one party rule.  Last election greatly encouraged them, last election greatly encouraged them, stooges and useful fools came out of the woodwork's everywhere!
Democrats play the total political whores maneuvers, those up for re-election will fall silent, those not up for re-election will be roaring lions.  This political game has been going on a long time, as too many people are clueless, it works for democrats.
