Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says that a deal on the Democrats’ divisive multi-trillion dollar budget bill is imminent after months of infighting between party moderates and progressives. She now plans to move the bill to the Rules Committee to advance it toward a vote on the House floor.
Pelosi’s prediction comes after a closed-door meeting at the White House between moderate Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) and President Joe Biden, who has taken a leading role in negotiating for the passage of the budget bill and the bipartisan infrastructure bill.
