House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has said that she will not hold a House vote on a bipartisan infrastructure plan bill until the Senate passes a separate, much larger $3.5 trillion budget framework via budget reconciliation rules.

A group of Senate Democrats and Republicans are still working on the details of a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan, but many Democrats also want to ensure that a follow-on $3.5 trillion package becomes law.
