Biden commends Pelosi for 'masterful' leadership
Source: The Hill
President Biden thanked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for her "masterful" leadership on Tuesday after House Democrats voted in lockstep to advance his economic agenda.
"We are a step closer to truly investing in the American people, positioning our economy for long term growth, and building an America that outcompetes the rest of the world," Biden said in remarks from the Roosevelt Room. "My goal is to build an economy from the bottom up and middle out, not just the top down."
Biden said he just got off a phone call with House leadership following the vote to adopt the $3.5 trillion budget blueprint. He thanked Pelosi and also offered praise for House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.), and Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.), who chairs the House Transportation Committee.
Biden also recognized Democrats who worked together to come to an agreement on advancing the massive package. Pelosi earlier Tuesday reached a deal with a group of moderates who were pushing for a vote on the Senate-passed bipartisan infrastructure bill before moving to the larger package.
