Pelosi Says Spending Bill Deal and Infrastructure Vote Will Come This Week
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Sunday that Democrats plan to reach an agreement on the spending bill and pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill this week.
"Are you saying in the next week there will be an agreement on the social safety net bill and you will also vote for the bipartisan infrastructure bill?" asked CNN host Jake Tapper on State of the Union.
"That's the plan," Pelosi said. "I think we're pretty much there now. It's just the language of it. 90 percent of the bill is agreed to and written."
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senator Joe Manchin and President Joe Biden will soon meet to finalize some of the particulars, she added.
