House Rules Committee won't meet Monday on reconciliation package
The House Rules Committee will not convene on Monday to markup the Democrats' social spending package, signaling a delay in the process to pass that bill and bipartisan infrastructure legislation, which House Democrats are vote on as early as Tuesday.
A leadership aide told Axios in a statement on Sunday the committee needs "additional time to craft language and get final agreement with all parties involved" after the group made "extensive progress" on prescription drugs and other initiatives that were not included in the text released by the committee on Thursday.
The aide, however, said the committee is still planning to vote "as early as possible this week," but did not specify a specific day. President Biden also said Sunday he expects the vote to happen this week.
