nancy pelosi sent out a new letter. talk to me about it. >> don, that letter really isn't offering us much clarity in terms of where this is headed tonight. i talked to three different sources familiar with her writing saying we shouldn't interpret this letter to say there is not going to be a vote tonight. it says, it has been a day of progress in search of building back better. work is being done. discussions continue with the house, senate and white house to reach a bicameral framework agreement to build back better through a reconciliation bill. that means it could still play out tonight, and we have seen officials from the white house, senator bernie sanders coming out to clearly come to some sort of agreement. again, this is all playing out on the senate side, don. on the house side, that group of more than 50 progressive lawmakers held a zoom call amongst their members where they continue to hold firm that they're not going to vote yes unless the bill is passed in the senate. that's not happening tonight. so it i

that was nancy pelosi.n by 17 on the s&p 500, off by .4% following a monthly drop through september of 4.7 percentage points. at the start of the equity markets, yields unchanged. the fx market, a lot to discuss, the stronger dollar story that evolved in the last week or so. the euro-dollar, 1.1582. tom: the vix, 21 outweigh 24 level, showing some of the friday tension that we have. she got home in time to see jimmy fallon wrap it up on the tonight show, emily wilkins joins us from an exhausted washington. i read the articles and will cut to the chase. is there any negotiation and/or compromise? i don't observe it. emily: there is a negotiation. we saw that with senator manchin going to the white house and white house officials shuttling between nancy pelosi and chuck schumer's offices with lawmakers coalescing. we still have a very long way from an agreement on president biden's social spending and tax plan and that is the crux of the problem. aggressive's are refusing nancy pelosi the vote that she needs

i think we're in the iron fist phase of nancy pelosi in their lobbying efforts on this.. we're not yet at the endgame of these talks. we're still in the morass, in the middle. it is not at all clear that either side is going to make the kind of compromises that would traditionally need to be made to get this over the finish line, and that's troubling news, i think, for democrats. >> susan, let me step back and get your big-picture thoughts on the week that was and is continuing on capitol hill, on where things stand not just for nancy pelosi but democrats as a whole, and also what the republicans have been doing with the standoff on the debt ceiling. >> the republicans have hung strong. they've fought with one another. the stake of these negotiations now on the infrastructure bill and the on the larger reconcilin we expect to follow. these are the hearts of joe biden's domestic agenda. this is probably their best most likely opportunity to get things done. things are only going to get harder as we get closer to next year's midterm. that's why we are watching it so closel

we should all be disappointed. >> house speaker nancy pelosi doesn't lose votes on the floor if pelosi had the votes, the house would have voted on the bill tonight. progressives now control the votes, not pelosi, nor the president. sean? >> sean: all right, great analysis. thank you, chad pergram. and that is nancy pelosi's m.o. she doesn't lose votes on the floor. she had the votes, she would've called for the vote. joining us with maurice congresswoman elise stefanik and former senior counsel to president trump, kellyanne conway. good to see you both. congresswoman, we will start with you. we see what is happening with the democratic party. this started out at $3.5 trillion, although if you use joe's math, it wouldn't cost us zero, zero, pay your fair share. with that math doesn't work. now it is 1.75, manchin still saying he is sticking at 1.5. do you see, you are on the floor, did democratic progressive caucus going along with a manchin-sinema-style bill? >> absolutely not. democrats are in utter disarray, sean, and this is a lame duck speaker of the house. nancy pelosi is a lame

a head fake, nod of the head on legislation coming as antitrust has been for the big tech and nancy pelosi'serful tech titans, that is the question. pelosi's husband got caught, not caught, making stock trades with call options on google stock. a democrat said everybody should put their money and their spouse's money in a blind trust. only 15 sponsors for that. nobody wants it. you make a good point about athletes and congress. you make a good point. nobody will go along with it in congress. >> particularly as long as democrats are in power. when you think about it, big tech serves as party's most impactful super-pac. no reason to break them up, hinder them in any way. you saw all the help, facebook, twitter, amazon all these companies gave to the joe biden campaign pushing him over the finish line. particularly facebook's and twitter cases, censoring stories, suppressing stories on hunter biden as an example. ain't nothing going to happen to these companies as long as democrats benefiting from them in myriad of ways. i think we have to go, elizabeth. elizabeth: joe concha, have you back on

house speaker nancy pelosi just sent out a new letter.talk to me about it. >> and, yeah, don, that letter isn't really offering us much clarity onto where things are heading here tonight. i talked to three different sources familiar with their thinking saying we shouldn't interpret this letter as saying there will not be a vote here tonight. in fact, this is part of what the letter reads. it has been a day of progress in fulfilling the president's vision to build back better. thanks to so many members and staff the work is being done. discussions continue with the house, senate and white house to reach a bicameral framework agreement to build back better through a reconciliation bill. so that indicates that the house speaker is content to let this play out at least for a certain period of time tonight. and we have seen officials from the white house, senator manchin, senator sinema, senator bernie sanders come in and out of different offices on capitol hill here today clearly trying to come to some sort of agreement. but at the same time

the slim majority are in nancy pelosi in the house, speaker nancy pelosi needs their votes to do anything and our universities are essentially turning out activists, left ist activists, that is how they have' upset educational culture. i would be -- i am amazed that is what is happening, i first came to america, now 1970s, it was not a great place to be, jimmy carter was the president. president nixon -- it was a controlled economy. but please, ronald reagan sit us free, just like margaret thatcher in britain, ronald reagan in the united states, we have a glorious economy, i adored it, to go from there to now, i find astonishing, i shocked and surprised, i think you are too. mark: i am different disgustd by it. >> i am too. >> joe biden is a one man wrecking ball. you look at border and im break, we don't have immigration. it is a lawless border. >> can i interrupt. i know your show, but i have to break in. i first came to the united states, this is 1970s, we all knew that if you over stayed our visa, you were in deep trouble. we all knew that if you were here illegally, does not have a p

2020 they are now a group within the house certainly within the house in a very slim majority for nancy pelosie so they have great influence, speaker pelosi needs the votes of progressive to do about anything so they call the shots, that is how we got here, not to mention the fact that our universities are essentially turning out activist, leftist activist that's what they're doing, that's how they've upset the whole turned it on his head. i'm just amazed at what's happening. when i first came to america in the 1970s it was not a great place to be, jimmy carter was a president, price control from president nixon in a controlled economy, ronald reagan set us free just like marred under margaret thatcher set us free and ronald reagan set us free in the united states, we have this glorious economy where we were growing strongly we had strengthen profits and capitalism and i absolutely adored it into go from that to where we are now i find astonishing i am shocked at this and very surprised by it i think you are too. mark: i am disgusted by it, when you look at every aspect of this culture, joe bi

nancy pelosi is doing the same thing. going to go through political machinations, do something that is hardly ever done except for obamacare and these massive bills just to avoid the public and guess what, the public is paying attention, madame speaker, and they are upset and they are going to show it. >> sean: bottom going to tell you something and i will throw this to miranda. i honestly think aoc wins this battle against pelosi. i don't think aoc is getting in and i think aoc is going to show pelosi what i've been saying for a long time. nancy pelosi is speaker in name only. congressman alexandria ocasio-cortez is the speaker. >> well, she certainly has a lot more power than she ought to have, and if she does vote -- you will see her perhaps weeping on the floor again, and you know that she will -- and the progressives -- will have been offered something under the table by nancy pelosi. and you know, the bill, the $3.5 trillion bill that they are having such trouble with, two and a half thousand pages plus long, what d

fierce pressure from house speaker nancy pelosi refusing to pass that $1 trillion infrastructure bill, leading pelosi to pull the plug on a planned vote at the last minute last night. progressive unity creating new leverage in their bid to pass this much larger, much vaster expansive working of the americans social safety net. that is a hope, but it's a risky move that leaves president biden's domestic agenda hanging in limbo. >> house progressives dug in after joe manchin expressed his view on the $3.5 trillion. moderates keeping hope alive on a separate vote for infrastructure, josh gottheimer tweeting, it ain't over yet. negotiations are still ongoing. we have team coverage this morning starting with cnn's daniela diaz on capitol hill. daniela, democratic leaders calling a recess, forging ahead. what is going to happen today? a crazy day yesterday. what's going to happen today? >> reporter: well, i cannot emphasize this enough, guys. it's not -- it's a totally unclear what's going to happen today. house speaker nancy pelosi governs with a heavy hand. she controls her caucus with a

nancy pelosi walking side by side president biden. we saw them have a moment together at the baseball game. they have a lot at stake. nancy pelosi has a reputation for being able to pull these things together at the last minute. this is -- the pressure is on as they move into the room here. there's james clyburn from south carolina who had a big role in helping security the nomination nor president biden. he was able to south carolina and got a win. if it wasn't for that, i doubt we would be looking at this picture right now, chris. as i mentioned before, i remember president biden saying in those debates, you know, when pressed on how progressive he would be, he said, you know, i'm the leader of the party. i am the standard bearer of the democratic party. it's going to way i want it to go. he's about to have a big test for that. >> that's right. in fact, when donald trump was talking about him being pushed around by the bernie sanders wing, his comeback was to say i beat bernie sanders. it's very interesting to watch now. bernie sand

and nancy pelosi may not be so much in tune with the moderates as she is with the progressives. i mean, what i'm being told by people who have worked for her in the past is this is where her heart is and this is the moment where nancy pelosi kicks into high gear. she loves this part of the negotiating process. this is what she lives for. don't count her out and her heart might be more with the progressives than the moderates. >> i don't think she loves having to put off a bill vote two times in a week. >> negotiation, though, let's do it. >> the timing of this session because you don't send the president up to the hill to be embarrassed. you have to wonder what they know that we don't know in their vote counting. >> yeoh ou think that -- >> extra credit. >> oh, look what he did. this is an existential moment for this administration, for this agenda. >> for the democratic party, all wrapped into one. so you don't send a president up to talk to a caucus to embarrass himself. unless they are taking a huge risk that i can't imagine. so they must be close to something. >> something.

mark elias, nancy pelosi, the democrats in the house lost again. when all of a sudden, marinette's opponent withdrew her contested election request and marinette miller meeks was safe. now, i've got to be honest with you, the former political op operative, somebody who used to yell about fogarty's bills in a different position i was in, i was looking forward as i, as a former operative, the super bowl of elections, who raise it on the house of the representatives. i would have felt like tom freakin' brady. [laughter] unless i lost. but you know what? i'd much rather give up that opportunity to do that, to not have to go through it and know what the end result would have been. it would have been the voters, the will of the voters in iowa's congressional district that elected marinette, that will would have been thrown out. we would have fought hard, we would have fought valiantly and matter of fact i think we would have had enough moderate democrats who would worry this may happen to them. fear is an amazing thing in politics. and that's our message

we're waiting on nancy pelosi right now. the question is, does she bring a vote to the floor? porter: that is the question question, cheryl, speaker pelosi doesn't bring things to the floor unless she is confident she has the votes to pass it. that is the big question. the president arrived on the hill clearly very confident he could win over progressives to back a vote on the infrastructure bill this morning. he was asked if senator bernie sanders was onboard? he replayed everyone is on board but almost simultaneously when he was giving his address after he wrapped up this meeting with house democrats, senator bernie sanders went public with his opposition saying he backs progressives. told them to stay strong, stand their ground and not give the infrastructure bill a vote until the social spending package is ready. >> i'm pleased to announce after months of tough and thoughtful negotiations i which they have, i know we have an historic economic framework. no one got everything they wanted including me but that is what compromise is. reporter: senate moderates joe manchin and

i just read about its week but the big problem that we have is what nancy pelosi has done in congresscrated this institution because now she has made it an almost impossible for the minorities to get documents from the biden administration so that we can hold them accountable not just on this but on afghanistan as well and she now has proxy voting where the democrats have not shown up for months but they still be the paycheck. she now finds members of the $5000 if they just walked through the wrong door going to the chambers. she selects who can be on the committee, never before the congress and she denies the minorities the abilities to even offer an amendment, something that has not been done in the history of congressman help why did she do that. she's a lame duck speaker in on a farewell tour rated where was she when that, she was in the uk and now back in europe when she supposed to be concerned about the debt ceiling. she's on her farewell tour in this for the reconciliation bill, she put $200 million from the are hard-working taxpayers for a park in her district. maria: fully r

a big problem that we have is what nancy pelosi has done in congress.de it almost impossible for the minority to get documents from the biden administration so we can hold them accountable, not just on this, but afghanistan as well. she has proxy voting. there are democrats that have not shown up for work for months but they still get their paycheck. she fines members up to $5,000 if they walk through the wrong door going through the chambers. she selects who can be on committee, never before in a congress. she denies the minorities the ability to even offer an amendment, something that hasn't been done in the history of congress. but now why does she do that? she's a lame duck speaker. she's on a farewell tour. where was she last month when the democrats were working on reconciliation, the u.k. she's on her farewell tour. that's why in the reconciliation bill she put $200 million from our hard working taxpayers for a park in her district. maria: wow. well, we reported last week that she was going to italy. yeah, she's there now. real quick, it feels li

somebody needs to fire nancy pelosi. [cheers and applause] bottom line again they have a , four seat majority in the us house of representatives. we could pick up two or three of those seats in texas. everybody in the world is moving to texas. now i think i know why. to clean up oil. [laughter] i think we are going to pick up 25 to 40 seats in the house because of the backlash. [applause] in 1994 after four look years of democratic control -- i've think there's going to be a big backlash. i think we are going to blow it out in the house. what does that mean for you in texas? that means nancy pelosi can't run housing more. that means the social train never gets off the tracks. that means the squad and aoc have nothing to do would be on tv. we have to stop the most radical agenda and my lifetime. we hope texas will do her part. we need one more united states senator. i could give you another one. i would take one from california, but they won't let me. if we could pick up one more senator i would be the chairman not bernie

nancy pelosi says wake me up when september ends. >> we are in for another long a dramatic day on capitol hill. democrats split on how to move president biden's legislative agenda forward. the speaker delay the vote on a bipartisan infrastructure package because from progressive members we are ready to vote it down, no deal is reached on a social spending package they want prioritized. we heard from the speaker late last night. but progressives are not happy including vermont senator bernie sanders who said it is an absurd way to do business, negotiating a multi-trillion dollar bill a few minutes before major vote. that is unacceptable. the white house waiting insisting a great deal of progress has been made but they are not there yet and the president is not have any public events on his schedule. we will see if he has any last-minute trips to the hell. west virginia senator joe manchin is firmly guests spending 3.5 trillion on social programs because it will take the economy. he wants democrats to cut their spending plan. progressives want, talks will continue. >> no one is giving up. >

mark elias, nancy pelosi and the democrats in the house lost again. when all of a sudden marionette's withdrew her election kb and marionette miller minx was safe. got to be honest with you. as a former political operative. someone who used to run campaigns and someone who knew a about fogarty's bills in a different position. what i consider a forearm operative of the super bowl of election opportunities, to defend a race on the floor of house of representatives. i would have felt like tom frickin' brady. unless i lost. but you know what, i'd much rather give up that opportunity to do that to not have to go through it and know what the end result would have been. it would have been the voters, the will of the voters in iowa's congressional district that elected marionette, that will would have been thrown out. we would have fought hard and valiantly and as a matter of fact i think we would have ended up getting enough moderate democrats who were worried that maybe this would happen to them. fear is an amazing thing in politics. and that was our messag

>> nancy pelosi the speaker is a very good vote counter but, jayapal demonstrated her metal saying ifoing to pass and if they don't go tonight then that will tell you that they don't have the build. >> bill: is great to see you, updates when we get them from the hill. >> sandra: let's bring in marc short, one who knows a lot about getting a presidents plan through congress. great to see you, thanks for being here. and does anyone walk away from that happy? >> thanks for having me. it certainly seems like they have quite the dilemma in front of them. i think today they wanted to have a big pep rally to his on the president off to scotland but it doesn't appear to be going well for them. i think one of the ironies is they are messaging to each other as to say, look. we need to show we can get something done for the presidents benefit, and the reality is what they are trying to get done, nobody wants. all the point continues to suggest is that americans are posting trillions of dollars in additional spending and additional taxes and so they sort of boxed themselves into this, like your i

do you think nancy pelosi's read it? do you think chuck schumer read it?you think joe biden who is desperately begging democrats to pass it, do you think he's read it? do you think knows what's in it. maria: coming up, tennessee senator marsha blackburn on where the agenda goes now, with pelosi slipping on who is really calling the shots on bernie's budget. >> we had a number of things on this, lift the debt ceiling, keep government open, we have to do those imminently, more imminently even to address the obama agenda of building back better, so that's where we are. maria: but she's not getting the obama agenda just yet. just ahead, gop whip steve ,scalise on the economic agenda, the vaccine mandates and the 400,000 new migrants making their way to the southern border right now. then, the chinese communist party bullying is on display as the ccp flies an additional 60 military jets into taiwan's air defense space this weekend, capitalizing on america asleep at the wheel. former pentagon chief of staff kash patel connects the dots on the big lie of russian

the plot thickens in the wee hours of this morning speaker nancy pelosi left the capital just after midnight when asked about the infrastructure bill, she said, we are not trillions apart she said that at 12:01 a.m. this morning and then she said there will be a vote today. okay let's talk about the first up i'm not sure what she's talking about if she meant the 4 trillion-dollar plus audit reconciliation bill, they are trillions of dollars apart, they be in the democratic party which is presently engaged in a circular firing squad operation between the progressive left wing which could be virtually the whole party in the last of the independent blue dog democrats not being senators joe manchin and kyrsten sinema i've been calling this usually assured destruction kind of like the old days of the cold war and frankly it's getting to be fun not just the usual shooters we have all kind of people we have house members jayapal, aoc firing at joe manchin, bernie sanders is high gear slamming losey in her late-night negotiations. last evening the senate budget chair said all of this is unacceptable

and between nancy pelosi and president biden. >> chris, it's interesting.ose fights or those reported fights are very inside baseball here in d.c. and they're important because they help guide what policies eventually will get in. i think what will be a successfully passed bill, eventually. look, these deadlines i think are fairly artificial. there's nothing magical about yesterday or friday when they were trying to get this bill done. so if democrats, all those different factions can come together and get these bills done whenever that is, after a painful few weeks, i think it will be incumbent upon them to go out to states and say here's what your citizens are getting out of these bills, exactly the questions you asked senator barrasso. a lot of the pieces of these bills will help people in states including states led by republicans so democrats have to -- eventually, they have to get this passed. i think they will. i think there will be a compromise. they don't have a good answer on the republican side on things like the child tax credit, on some of thes

what does that say of the power of house speaker nancy pelosi the other democratic lawmakers? she has a progressive caucus now that is unified and ready to take a stand. speaker pelosi asked to have a vote. president biden didn't. there's a difference between the speaker who her caucus respects her, but it is not the president. biden went in that room and said trust me on this deal. he worked through the framework. everyone who left the meeting said it was clear he was dialed in on the specifics, but in terms of pressuring them for a vote, biden has endorsed the strategy of linking these bills and allowing progressives to make sure he gets the most transformational package possible. it behooves him and the white house that progressives are continuing to hold the line, because almost every democratic lawmaker we talked to wants to pass both of these bills. some are more passionate about the hard infrastructure pieces, others about the social spending, but they would like to give the white house the win because the policy that passes is going to be the platform in the midterms.

to be frank, house speaker nancy pelosi got rolled by progressives. losi insisted all week the house would vote on infrastructure and pass the social spending bill. it never happened. jayapal proved he had the cards. now, this underscores the progressive grip on the house democratic caucus. moderate democrats are incensed with pelosi. the speaker promised a vote last monday on infrastructure. blue dog -- [inaudible] ing murphy of florida said she was disillusioned by the process and said she was profoundly disappointed. and the cochair of the problem solvers' caucus said pelosi, quote, breached her agreement with moderate democrats. neil? neil: chad, the fact that the president clearly aligned himself with progressives that they'll concede enough to bring the price down from the -- 3.5 trillion, that startled some who thought that the president was going to be pushing for at least one victory, an infrastructure-only victory, and maybe to your earlier point that the votes weren't there for that, he decided to rejoin them together. where does this put at

thank you all for -- nancy pelosi. know a bunch of you all are running against each other and you all will figure it out. all i can say is we better not screw this up, do you agree? i am honored to be here. have you all been to south carolina [applause] -- south carolina? [applause] we change senators every 50 years whether we need to or not. luckily it was the year before i was born. i got 34 more years to do this. [laughter] i will come on my last year for free again. so let's just talk a little bit about where we are at and where we are going. you all were challenged but you withstood it. the bottom line is liberals hate this. they are trying their best to turn you the other direction, but you seem to be in good shape . -- and ted cruz are wonderful senators. a queue for sending these to the senate -- thank you for sending these guys to the senate. ted and i have scrapped every now and then but usually we are on the same side. i have never met of our dedicated constitutional conservative in my life. he was stalwart

nancy pelosi pulling that vote here today. she has rescheduled that for today.jen psaki saying progress has been made, but they need more time. this really speaks to the division within the democratic party between moderates and progressives. progressives wanting to link this to reconciliation and higher taxing and higher spending of course, so that really is the issue here. you have the likes of senator joe manchin saying these spending bills are fiscal insanity. it will be interesting to see what happens with that vote today. of course what else i am watching is some of those infrastructure stocks, how they are doing off the backs of this. you have heavy machinery companies, caterpillar, deer, they really rallied this summer. august, quite peaks for them. we have started to see momentum fade somewhat. 10% on average for the stocks. the question is where they go from here. it could be a lot of that is priced in already and also that this bill has dwindled to the original $550 billion. but it could be how bloomberg intelligence sees this. they expect this will b

house speaker nancy pelosi said yesterday i think we will vote today. josh gottheimer, the democrat from new jersey who a's in charge of the problem solvers caucus, the bipartisan group, he said i think we will vote today. it is still thursday here on capitol hill, and that a day could extend the later into today, into friday, into saturday into sunday, so you have a couple of days to do today. neil: well, that's the problem right there -- [laughter] all right. chad, thank you very much for that. chad pergram. it is friday, i just want to update you. but in some circles it's thursday, don't you forget it. lauren simonetti on the end of the week, friday, depending on your perspective on the actual day of the week, wall street -- [laughter] is sort of digesting. man, oh, man. that's the problem, lauren, they can't even agree what day it is. >> last i checked, it's friday, october 1st. a lot of people want to call it up-t the ober, get it? we are seeing a comeback today. the dow is being helped by merck adding 45 points. the news there is they have a covid

nancy pelosi was forced to delay the vote on the second largest reconciliation package. pelosi had spent the day hudling with democrats. the out reach from president biden failed to bring the two camps together generating acrimony. senator manchin left late last night insisting the bill not to be linked. >> i pray to god, there is a lot of good in both of them. we should be able to come to an agreement. >> in a statement, jen psaki says a great deal has been made this weekend. progressives in the house remains adamant reconciliation needs to be completed before they vote for infrastructure. >> we have said clearly and we reiterated this again to the speaker, we'll not be able to vote for the infrastructure bill until the reconciliation has passed. we have been clear that we are ready to vote for both bills. >> so they are not budging. >> after hours of meeting, the two sides are still trillions of dollars apart. how do you bridge the gap? >> yesterday of course speaker pelosi says that we have positive thinking. i hope she feels positive, joe, but of course the longer th

>> that's what nancy pelosi wants.ants to concentrate power into the hands of fewer and fewer people in washington. that's what socialism is all about until you get like nicolas maduro. that's what they want. they want a socialist country. they will tie all of this together and attempt to create that socialist country. but i have the unique fortune to interview saddam hussein the night we caught him. when you concentrate power into the hands of too few people, you get tyranny. an average of 24 pounds lost by each venezuelan. they had a decrease in agricultural production. 33% of the population has basically fled the country. but that's what pelosi and aoc and bernie sanders want. >> what is going to map? the radical left it seems, congressman waltz. the radical left is controlling. who is in charge? >> just to add to what representative green was saying on venezuela. there are more refugees fleeing venezuela and fleeing socialism man there are fleeing isis and the assad regime in syria. that's how desperate these peopl

nancy pelosi, joe biden pushed hard and then had to back down in the face of this dynamic.ppy because of manchin and sinema. but they were not seeing at the. time now we are our here again, a month later, with a more significant deadline i would say in the sense that joe biden really wanted the white house to be able to go to the g20, to scott, low to glasgow with a genuine climate commitment in his hand. to be able to walk in with that kind of credibility. and they're also looking at the off year elections on tuesday. on tuesday for virginia new jersey. because every time this deadline gets pushed out later. more events happen in the political environment that could make it more complicated to pass this bill. so they really wanted to get this done today, and again it happened, so we are hearing a lot from camilla jayapal that suggests that some progress is softening on some stuff, they now see some of the language. she is trying to put a very positive face on, the fact that we are very close, but i'll say again, i don't know what will happen next week if terry mcauliffe lo

president biden was hoping to get a phone call on airforce one from house speaker nancy pelosi telling him that half of his package passed the house today. that call never came. instead speaker pelosi was forced to retreat from her plan for the house to vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill that passed the senate in august. president biden went to the house of representatives first thing in morning at 9:00 a.m. for a closed door session with all house democrats in which he hoped to rally them to pass that infrastructure bill today. according to sources familiar with what was said at the meeting president biden told house democrats, quote, the house and senate majorities and my presidency will be determined by what happens in the next week. the president was hoping that the infrastructure bill would be passed today by the house of representatives so that he could have a bill signing ceremony as soon as he returns from europe while the house and senate would then be completing the series of votes necessary to pass the $1.75 trillion bill under the reconciliation rules that allows th
