.@SpeakerPelosi told the Democratic caucus, per two sources: “I hope many of you will one day run for president of the United States. I have always said a House member needs to win so it is not as Senate oriented.” — PolitiTweet.org

This was the key moment 👇. Pelosi saying they must move together. Without the reconciliation guarantee, a number of Senate Democrats would have bolted and BIF may never have materialized as it did. Hence House progressives say no reconciliation, no BIF. https://t.co/gNwzdWsvGp — PolitiTweet.org

Progressives and centrists are talking past each other about a "deal" to link infrastructure and reconciliation. This was a progressive demand. Many centrists didn't exactly sign on to it. But Pelosi said she'd enforce the linkage, which enabled infrastructure bill to happen. — PolitiTweet.org

@LPDonovan @jamespmanley a good q. trust is already quite low between the factions hence this MAD predicament to begin with. i think the dynamic is less personal ill will, more transactional — PolitiTweet.org

The infrastructure bill got 19 GOP votes in the Senate. But that isn't making much of an impression on House Republicans, whose decision to largely sit this out and oppose BIF is strengthening the progressive caucus's hand on linking it to reconciliation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Republican authors of the infrastructure bill are "disappointed" in the delayed House vote but "hopeful" it'll still pass. https://t.co/dDiwDdk15U — PolitiTweet.org

And this is why Pelosi said back in June that reconciliation had to move first. Progressives whipped this early to firm up the two-track process. She knows better than anybody else where the votes are. — PolitiTweet.org
