“President Biden and congressional leaders are forging ahead with plans to have the House vote on his two massive spending plans, even while backing off their Tuesday deadline amid persistent concerns from key lawmakers,” Axios reports.

“House leaders gave themselves more time on Sunday afternoon by punting procedural moves they’d planned for Monday by the House Rules Committee. That would have set up floor votes on the actual bills on Tuesday.”

“Democrats in Washington wanted to hand President Biden a political win before he departs from the COP26 summit in Glasgow, Scotland, on Tuesday, but that’s no longer possible.”

1. Jesus Wept

just get the damn thing done.

2. I have a very uneasy feeling about this. The longer this goes, the less likely these bills

are to pass.

3. Need to stop making vote announcements and negotiating in public.

Get it passed and move on.

4. Dems should stop talking the media about the when they will vote

IMO they errored in having 2 Bills. The split enabled ManCinema to say “no” to everything put the Progressive/Blue Dog (for lack of a better term) divide on full and unending display. The media is having a field day. Nothing has been passed and the Dems do themselves no favor by even hinting at a vote. Just makes no sense.

5. "persistent concerns from key lawmakers"

"Persistent concern" is a nice, tactful way of phrasing what's happening.
