On Capitol Hill, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has scheduled votes today on the bipartisan infrastructure bill and the Democrats’ Build Back Better Act. The votes come after months of negotiations and delays as Democrats whittled down their expansive social safety and climate package following myriad objections from conservative Democrats, many of these coming from Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. Those negotiations continued into Thursday as President Biden reportedly made calls to a number of Democratic lawmakers and as questions remained over several key issues, including immigration and the plan’s budget.
