Pelosi wavers on Monday infrastructure vote, says it will happen ‘this week’

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi waffled Sunday on her commitment to bring the bipartisan $1.1 trillion infrastructure bill to the House floor Monday even as she downplayed Democratic infighting between the party’s moderate and progressive wings.

Mrs. Pelosi told reporters Friday that the vote would be held Monday, but she told ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos that the timing would depend on the votes.

“Let me just say we’re going to pass the bill this week,” she said, adding, “you know, I’m never bringing a bill to the floor that doesn’t have the votes.”

She emphasized that the bill was “the vision of the president,” and that his Building Back Better plan has “the support of over 95% of our caucus.”

“I think any time you put an arbitrary date — well, remember when Republicans said they were going to overturn the Affordable Care Act on the anniversary of the Affordable Care Act?  I knew right then and there they were doomed,” she said, referring to the 2017 vote.
