Senior House Democrats on Tuesday aggressively pushed their caucus to fall in line behind next week’s key budget vote, hoping to quell a rank-and-file rebellion that threatens to at least temporarily derail President Joe Biden’s economic agenda.
“We have to hold firm. We have to stay together,” Rep. Peter said …
The centrists’ threat against the budget is the latest iteration of a long-running tug of war between moderates and progressives in the Democratic Caucus. And with just a three-vote margin in the House, that rift could tank Biden’s entire domestic agenda if Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her leadership team can’t bring their caucus together …
At least 11 Democrats — including nine who signed a public letter led by Rep. Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey — have told leadership they won’t support the budget resolution unless Pelosi brings the Senate infrastructure bill up for an immediate vote… Democrats can only lose three votes on the floor and still pass the budget resolution. So far, those moderates won’t back down…
But Pelosi has no plans to bring the infrastructure bill up for a final passage vote next week, despite moderate demands, maintaining she won’t do so until the Senate approves the massive social spending package through reconciliation...
But some of those moderates privately argue that their resolve has only hardened after Pelosi’s comments on Monday night, as well as Biden’s glaring failures in Afghanistan that they believe have heightened the need for a domestic win.
Monday night’s vote will include one more pressure point for moderates: If they vote against the rule, they’ll also be blocking the consideration of a broadly popular voting rights measure...

These “moderates” are all about self preservation in the 2022 election. However if they do scuttle the socialist agenda, they will alienate 5-15% of their core leftist supporters in their districts. If they don’t come out or fail to man the fraud machines, most of them will lose anyway.
Blah they’ll all vote for it to show support for the Tallyband
All you have to say is, “Biden’s failing with the budget just like he did in Afghanistan.”
That’s it.
Biden’s mess is going to get all over the place. And NONE of the failing Democrat’s corrupt Unconstitutional legislation should be passed, if the Democrats know what is good for them. They need to turn on Biden, attack him, and act like they never supported him. This will not work, but it will eat through the time they could have pushed all this offal through Congress. Chaos is all we can count on.
I think they will find a reason to dump Kabul Joe. Rumor has it VP Harris has begun to ask about the 25th Amendment.
Senior House Dems launch YET ANOTHER pressure campaign ahead of key budget vote
Broadly popular???
“...threatens to at least temporarily derail President Joe Biden’s economic agenda...”
Good grief, LOL, Joe’s only agenda is to touch little girls and eat ice cream.
It’s Google, after all.
Pollutico is the real source.
