Meanwhile, shortly after, a House Democratic leadership aide told CNN that while there has been “extensive progress” on drug price reform, a key initiative for Senate Budget Chairman Bernie Sanders, the Rules committee will not be meeting Monday — meaning a full vote will likely not take place on Tuesday.
The aide said they “intend to vote as early as possible this week,” but there wasn’t a firm timetable.
It’s unclear how many progressives will support the two bills, but the meeting is a hopeful sign that the weeks-long legislative logjam may be broken when the bills come up for a vote.
Based last week, the consensus is Democratic leadership will not bring up infrastructure again until the broader social safety net package is also ready.
