Democratic leaders plan to vote next week on a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill they hope to send to President Joe Biden’s desk despite demands from their liberal base to postpone the legislation until Congress can pass a much larger social welfare spending measure.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer told reporters Tuesday the House will take up the infrastructure bill early next week, even though there is no deal yet on a second spending bill costing up to $3.5 trillion that would provide an array of new government programs and tax credits liberals are seeking.
