Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said House Democrats will attempt to vote on President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus package by the end of next week.

“At the same time, there is communication with the Senate as to what the Byrd rule will allow in the bills as we go forward,” Pelosi said on Feb. 18, referring to the “reconciliation” process—a way in which Democrats can approve a package with a simple majority of 51 votes instead of 60.
