House sets up Friday votes for Biden agenda
By Cristina Marcos and Scott Wong - 11/04/21 09:57 PM EDT
House Democrats are now planning to vote Friday on their long-sought social spending package as well as the bipartisan infrastructure bill as they rush to deliver on President Biden's agenda after disappointing state election results earlier this week.

The House Rules Committee met late Thursday night to advance the final text of the social spending legislation.

Next, according to Democratic sources familiar with the plan, the House will convene at 8 a.m. Friday to debate and vote on the package, titled the Build Back Better Act. A vote to clear the bipartisan infrastructure bill — which has stalled in the House since its Senate passage in August due to progressive resistance — will follow.


The House already completed floor debate on the bipartisan infrastructure bill in late September, when Democratic leaders had first hoped to clinch a deal on the two measures.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and her leadership team have been laboring for more than a month to pass both the social spending package and the bipartisan infrastructure bill, but have repeatedly had to delay House floor action due to stubborn internal divisions over strategy.

I wonder who will defect and vote for this POS bill.

If we only knew where the hidden money is going, we would know that answer.

Or it may be something like promised ambassadorships for the GOP Senators retiring soon.  From the group, I can pick off a couple capable of that
