1. Pelosi just said "this week" for the vote...

Let me just say that we’re going to pass the bill this week,

I’m never bringing a bill to the floor that doesn’t have the votes.

From: https://democraticunderground.com/1016302758

So she's definitely abandoned her original plan of the $ 3.5 trillion bill first then the bi-partisan infrastructure bill, defeated by Manchin, Sinema and the "moderate" rebels in the House.

3. Actually

the Speaker also said they plan to vote on the reconciliation bill "this week".

Right now, there's at least 50 no votes from the House Progressive Caucus, so she can tell Gottheimer she can bring the bill to the floor, but it's gonna go down. Is that what he wants? Does he want that hung around his neck?

According to Rep. Jayapal, the House Progressive Caucus and the Senate Dems are coordinating on a conference bill.

To the contrary Pelosi acknowledging the vote on the bipartisan bill could b delayed means the two track plan to pass Biden’s agenda is alive and well.
