Nine Democrats in the House of Representatives on Thursday urged House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to quickly allow a vote on the Senate-passed infrastructure bill before the lower chamber considers the larger, $3.5 trillion budget resolution.

The House should “immediately pass” the infrastructure legislation, they wrote to Pelosi.
