Democrats see Friday vote as likely for Biden bill
House Democrats are eyeing a Friday vote on the $1.75 trillion climate and benefits package at the heart of President Biden's domestic policy agenda.
Party leaders are racing to approve the bill and send it to the Senate before the week-long Thanksgiving recess, which begins this weekend, and some are still floating the idea that the legislation could receive a vote as early as Thursday.
But members of the Democratic whip team, after huddling with Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and other party leaders in the Capitol basement Wednesday morning, emerged predicting the vote is more likely to come Friday.
"We're being told there's almost no way we'll be back here [to vote on the Build Back Better Act] on Thursday," said one of the lawmakers, relaying the message from leadership. "We're planning for Friday."
