Pelosi aims to have Biden infrastructure bill passed before August

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Speaker Nancy Pelosi expressed hope that Congress would pass President Biden's $2 trillion infrastructure proposal ahead of the August recess.

During her weekly press conference on Thursday, Pelosi said that House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chair Peter DeFazio believes his committee could take up the bill in May.

"I would hope that our part in that House would be largely done before the Fourth of July. Whether the whole package can be done then, we just don't know. But as some had suggested, we want to do it before the August break," Pelosi said.

But Republicans have balked at the size of Mr. Biden's plan, and questioned the inclusion of provisions related to social issues such as bolstering home care for the elderly and disabled. They have also criticized the president's proposal to pay for the package by raising the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28%, and negotiating a new global minimum tax on multinational corporations.

Manchin is holding up all the money and jobs. But it is WV they may be against it too just because it is Biden.
