$3.5 trillion budget plan stalls in House amid standoff between Pelosi and centrists – By Erin Doherty (Axios) / Aug 24 2021
The $3.5 trillion budget framework stalled in the House early Tuesday after tense negotiations between Democratic leaders and centrists failed to reach an agreement.
Driving the news: Moderate Democrats, who have vowed to block the deal until a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package is passed, held out on early Tuesday morning as divisions in the party flared, the New York Times writes.
- The House is set to reconvene at noon on Tuesday to resume debate on the measure.
- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi urged Democrats during a private caucus on Monday to deliver on the promises President Biden and the party have made to Americans, AP reports.
