oderate Democrats lashed out at Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Saturday after President Joe Biden made clear that the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill won't pass unless Democrats reach a deal on the $3.5 trillion spending bill.
Pelosi promised moderates that she'd bring the infrastructure bill to the House floor for a vote on September 27, before extending the deadline to September 30. Pelosi delayed the vote again after progressives threatened to sink the bill unless the larger spending bill is passed in tandem.
"While I have great respect for the Speaker, I believe her decision to again delay a vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill is wrong," Representative Stephanie Murphy said in a statement.
