House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on Jan. 28 that while she hopes Republicans in Congress will back President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion pandemic relief bill, Democrats are ready to adopt the sweeping legislation unilaterally as part of a budget reconciliation process. She said a related budget resolution would be brought to the House floor next week.

“We will pass a reconciliation bill, if we need it,” she told reporters at her weekly news conference, adding that “we’re not taking any tools off the table.”
