Read our privacy policy House Democrats plan to vote on both their social spending bill and a bipartisan infrastructure bill on Friday in a crucial test for President Joe Biden’s domestic agenda. Moderate Democrats initially pressed for the House to pass the bipartisan bill without a concurrent vote on the reconciliation bill, sometimes called Build Back Better. Some moderate Democrats blamed progressive House Democrats’ unwillingness to pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill for the loss, with Sen Tim Kaine of Virginia calling them “purists”, as Insider reported. Mr Biden had hoped that the bipartisan bill would pass before he left for Europe last week for a meeting with the G20 followed by a trip to Glasgow for COP26 with world leaders to combat climate change, meeting with House Democrats on Thursday of last week.
