Pelosi threatens to destroy Democrats' infrastructure success

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is trying singlehandedly to force through a massive $3.5 trillion spending proposal by holding hostage a bipartisan infrastructure bill that passed the Senate this week. Unfortunately for her, there are still a few members left in the Democratic caucus with some common sense.

Nine centrist House Democrats have informed Pelosi that they will not back the $3.5 trillion reconciliation budget proposal until the House votes on the Senate-passed $1 trillion infrastructure package. Pelosi needs every single one of these votes if her plan to pass the reconciliation bill is to succeed.
