Pelosi and Biden Fail Badly, Yet Again, to Move Infrastructure Bill
By Nick Arama | Oct 28, 2021 7:30 PM ET

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Joe Biden must like stacking up those failures.

Pelosi had said she would be holding a vote today on the bipartisan infrastructure bill now that they allegedly had a ‘framework’ for a deal on the bigger Build Back Better deal. But as I said earlier, it wasn’t at all clear if they truly had all their people on board with that, including Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) and all the progressives who had been at odds, despite Biden touting the deal earlier today in remarks. The progressives made it clear that they were leery about going forward with just a framework on the infrastructure bill and dozens of them were in question as to a vote.

Pelosi chastised them not to embarrass Biden and vote in support of the bill.

Negotiating agreements to get legislation through Congress used to be Biden's strongest point.

But with his capacity diminished, those propping him up have overplayed their hands, embarrassing him even further.
