After nearly two months of wrangling between Democratic moderates and progressives, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on Thursday that Democrats’ $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill is on a path to pass.

At her weekly press conference, Pelosi said of the bill, “I’m only envisioning taking it up and winning it.” Currently, the bill is set for a Thursday vote in the House.
