The progressives in the House are led by Pramila Jayapal.<\/p>\n

The Washington Democrat has proposed trying to sink the current bill if there isn’t a larger human infrastructure bill passed that includes paid leave, childcare funds, money for community colleges, and other ways to help families that are struggling as well as students who are in school.<\/p>\n

There are also two moderate Democrats who believe that the original price tag of the bill at $3.5 trillion is much too expensive.<\/p>\n

These Democrats are Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. They want the price knocked down by about half and only include things that are necessary.<\/p>\n

Nancy Pelosi, who is Speaker of the House, postponed voting on the bill and hopes that the final vote can come by the October 31 deadline that has been set.<\/p>\n

President Biden believes that both aspects of the bill are essential for getting the country back on track and for improving all areas of the country so that it can succeed in the future.<\/p>\n

The bill is one of the most important components of the Build Back Better agenda that President Biden has talked about since he took office.<\/p>\n
