Pelosi says House Democrats are aiming to vote on their $1.9 trillion stimulus package at the end of
next week
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Thursday that House Democrats were aiming to set up a floor vote for President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion federal rescue package at the end of next week. But she acknowledged that some procedural hurdles remained.
Pelosi said at her weekly press conference that Democrats in the House wanted to vote on the package by the end of February.
"At the same time, there is communication with the Senate as to what the Byrd rule will allow in the bills as we go forward," Pelosi said, referring to a part of the reconciliation process that Democrats are employing.
Reconciliation is a shortcut that allows Democrats to approve the package with a simple majority of 51 votes instead of the 60 usually required to thwart a Republican filibuster.
