Nancy Pelosi Calls on Democrats to ‘Embrace’ Scaled-Down Infrastructure Bill

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told Democrats on Monday night to “embrace” the scaled-down infrastructure bill as the chamber plans to vote on the legislation this week.

Pelosi urged Democrats to support the limited infrastructure bill as President Joe Biden has encouraged Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to hold a vote on the Senate-passed Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, or the so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill, and the Build Back Better Act.

Pelosi told Democrats to “embrace this” and “have a narrative of success.”

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) urged Democrats to support the bill to convince the American people to support the bill.
