- Pat, it's a standoffbetween House leadership

and speaker Nancy Pelosiand moderate Democrats.

They were on the Hill overnight

trying to come to termson a procedural vote

that would begin moving

two pieces of massive legislation forward,

but they left with no deal.

Coaxing her caucus in a letter,

Pelosi insists delays will jeopardize

the party's policy goals,

for president Biden's quote,

transformative visionand historic progress.

- The vision is to build back better.

- The Rules Committeewill come back to order.

- [Jenna] House lawmakersare briefly back in DC,

the White House endorsing Pelosi's plans

for the procedural vote toadvance the $3.5 trillion

human infrastructure budget blueprint.

The first step towardadvancing the broader bill.

- When you take this bill together

with the American Rescue Plan

and the reconciliation billthat's getting underway

we are implementing oncein a generation policies

that will change people'slives for the better.

Housing, clean energy, dealingwith the climate crisis.

- The procedural vote

would then lead to a budget resolution,

which would allow Democratsto pass the measure

without a Republican vote.

- Because this is what thespeaker has brought us in for

not to deal with Afghanistan,not to deal with inflation,

not to deal with the border on fire,

not to deal with crime out of control

because we're defunding the police,

but to deal with unbridled spending,

unbridled spending and thepassage of the green new deal

and the socialist budgetreconciliation act

offered by Bernie Sanders.

- [Jenna] But Democrats themselves

are facing a test of unity.

Fearing the budget blueprintwill be scaled back,

Pelosi and Houseprogressives want that passed

before the $1.2 trillionbipartisan infrastructure bill,

which has already passed the Senate.

Standing in the speaker'sway are nine party moderates

who are wary of the$3.5 trillion price tag

and are threatening to vote against it

unless the $1.2 trillionbill is passed first.

- But this is a good example that

just because you're in themajority and in control

doesn't mean that everything is easy.

- [Jenna] Nathan Gonzaleswith "Inside Elections"

on CBN's "Faith Nation".

- I think that these moderateDemocrats who tend to be,

who most of them are someof the most vulnerable

Democrats in the House realizethat they're going to get

attacked for voting for the budget

and a lot of the spendingthat comes along with that,

so they want the infrastructure bill

that has some things

that they can take back totheir constituents and say,

this is what we got done,

this is what we got accomplished.
