Pelosi signals she won’t bend to outnumbered centrists in spending fight

Speaker Nancy Pelosi isn’t swayed after a group of centrist Democrats demanded the House take up a Senate-passed infrastructure measure when they return later this month to consider a much broader social spending bill.

The group of nine Democrats wrote to the California Democrat to warn her she won’t get their votes on a $3.5 trillion budget resolution unless the House also takes up a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill. Both measures passed the Senate this week.
