A scheduled House of Representatives vote on Sept. 30 on a bipartisan infrastructure package that the Senate passed in August is poised to fail despite Democrats’ control of both chambers.

Democrats who describe themselves as progressive oppose approving the measure unless there’s a vote first that approves a $3.5 trillion budget package. Since that hasn’t happened, they say there aren’t enough votes for the infrastructure legislation.
