无交易:在进步人士拒绝让步后推迟基础设施投票

源节点: 1876895

更新(2330ET): House Democrats called off a Thursday night vote on the $1.2 trillion infrastructure package after the Progressive Caucus was unconvinced by leadership’s proposed ‘bicameral framework’ to move forward on the legislation.

To review – House progressives have threatened to sink the Senate-passed infrastructure deal unless the moderate Democrats in the Senate agree to pass the $3.5 trillion social spending package. And with moderate Senate Democrats Joe Manchin (WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (AZ) refusing to vote on legislation unless – according to Manchin – it’s no more than $1.5 trillion, it appears 除非做出重大改变,否则基础设施交易注定会失败.

今晚我没有看到任何交易,我真的没有,” said Manchin, after leaving a meeting with White House officials and Sinema, per the “华尔街日报”. “We just—we need a little bit more time,” he added.

民主党推迟了周四对基础设施法案的投票,预计周五将恢复谈判,他们第二次推迟了对该立法的预定投票。该法案遭到自由派民主党人的反对,他们不想投票支持该法案,直到参议院通过更广泛的社会政策法案,以维持他们在复杂谈判中的影响力。基础设施法案将资助改善道路、桥梁、港口和扩大宽带互联网接入。 -华尔街日报

一些助手告诉 Blog 曼钦可能会被说服接受 2 万亿美元的提案,但国会进步党核心小组主席普拉米拉·贾亚帕尔 (D-WA) 周四表示,大多数民主党人希望 更大的包裹, and still plan to vote against the infrastructure bill until it’s passed by the Senate.

更新(1546ET): The House has OK’d the Senate-passed Continuing Resolution (CR) by a 254-175 vote – avoid a government shutdown at midnight, after the Senate passed the stopgap spending bill 65-35.

Next stop, Biden’s desk.

该法案是在民主党取消了此前将暂停债务危机与该法案联系起来的尝试后才通过的,该法案周一被共和党参议员阻止。

It also does not include a proposed $1 billion allocation for Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system pushed by GOP lawmakers. That said, the House has already passed a standalone bill to provide that funding, which the Senate may soon take up.

此举将使政府在 3 月 XNUMX 日之前获得资助,之后他们可以提出新的持续决议 (CR)。它包含 28.6亿美元用于安置难民 来自阿富汗的崩溃。

According to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), her chamber will take up the bill on Thursday, where it’s expected to receive overwhelming support.

The bill will next move to the House, which is expected to clear it for President Biden’s signature this afternoon.

同时, the rest of the Democrat’s agenda remains in limbo, after Rep. Pramila Jayapal said House progressives were “in the same place” following a meeting with Speaker Pelosi regarding their refusal to vote ‘yes’ on the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill without concurrently passing the $3.5 trillion economic blueprint.

While Congressional Democrats are nowhere near a deal on a $3.5 trillion social spending package, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi planning to move forward with a Thursday vote on the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill that’s doomed to fail due to party infighting, 共和党人将给予他们一个小小的胜利。

周四,参议院少数党领袖米奇·麦康奈尔(R-KY)预测 参议院将通过一项 持续决议 (CR) to avoid a partial government shutdown – 表明足够多的共和党参议员将支持当天晚些时候投票的民主党措施。

“The Continuing Resolution contains a number of key items that Republicans call for,” said McConnell. “That includes supplemental funds to resettle Afghan refugees, and hurricane recovery aid for Louisiana.”

McConnell then said it was “seriously disappointing” that Democrats wouldn’t let them fund Israel’s Iron Dome, adding “It honestly baffles me that defensive aid to our ally, Israel, has become a thorny subject for the political left. But overall, this is encouraging progress.”

“On government funding, what Republicans laid out all along was a plain, continuing resolution, without the poison pill of a debt limit increase. That’s exactly what we’ll pass today.

CR是一项权宜之计,通过以下方式暂时为政府提供资金: 十二月3rd,届时国会将需要发布另一份 CR 来为本财年剩余时间提供资金。

如前所述 星期四早些时候, the Democrats’ hopes of passing 4.6万亿美元的立法 很快就会显得苗条。

尽管西弗吉尼亚州温和派民主党参议员乔·曼钦 refusing on Wednesday to back his party’s $3.5 trillion spending plan  – calling it the “definition of fiscal insanity,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi still plans to hold a vote on the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill that House progressives vowed to sink unless the $3.5 trillion plan was passed in tandem.

“So far, so good for today,” said Pelosi at a press conference following a meeting with her leadership team, adding “We’re on a path to win the vote.”

According to Assistant Speaker Katherine Clark, even if the bill doesn’t pass today, the impact will be limited.

“Whether that vote happens today, and I hope it does, this is not over,” she told 彭博电视, adding ““If we haven’t reached that point in our negotiations, our commitment is to getting this entire agenda done, and that will happen.”

祝你好运。

In short, looks like the government won’t shut down – but the debt ceiling and the spending packages 陷入困境.
