WASHINGTON (HRNW) – After months of fierce political wrangling, House speaker Nancy Pelosi said Sunday that she expects agreement on a huge social spending package and a vote on a major infrastructure package this week, adding, “We re almost there.”
US President Joe Biden had been intent on securing passage of the two packages — which Democrats see as vital to their political hopes in midterm elections next year — before he leaves for a climate summit in Glasgow that opens October 31.
Asked on CNN s “State of the Union” whether the agreement on the spending package and votes on infrastructure could come next week, Pelosi replied, “That s the plan.”
And on the spending package specifically, which has divided progressive and moderate Democrats, she said: “I think we re pretty much there now… We re almost there. It s just the language of it.”
