After talks that stretched late into Monday night and then Tuesday morning, Pelosi and the moderates agreed to a resolution committing to vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill by Sept. 27. Democratic leaders also adjusted the rule containing a provision to automatically deem the budget resolution as adopted so that the House wouldn't have to hold a standalone vote on it.
Hours later, moderates still concerned that the pledge wasn't binding enough secured additional language in the rule stating that the House "shall consider" the bipartisan bill on Sept. 27 if it isn't voted upon before then.
The progressives need to understand -not everyone comes from a bright blue district like Omar or AOC or Tlaib. Some of us live in districts that were flipped from red in 2018 - and we know what it is going to take to maintain those seats next year.
"Yes, we have differences. Yes, we have different perspectives. And we're a big-tent party.

Everyone isn't getting a pony. Nobody gets their way 100% of the time. And I know Gottheimer's district is much like mine - and we DO have interests at our kitchen table that the bright blue district progressives cannot even begin to comprehend. They don't have to. They are never going to have to fight a Republican for their seat.
