House Democratic leaders have struggled since September to pass both the social spending package and the bipartisan infrastructure bill due to internal divisions over strategy. WASHINGTON, DC - The demands from a handful of centrist lawmakers for a full Congressional Budget Office analysis of the social spending package is jeopardizing House Democratic leaders’ plans to hold a vote Friday on the legislation. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) acknowledged that a CBO score on the bill — which spans more than 2,000 pages — would not be ready on Friday. |
