House Democrats delay vote on advancing President Biden's infrastructure bill and multi-trillion-dollar social safety net expansion as Speaker Pelosi struggles to tame a rebellion from centrist lawmakers who oppose her plan of action.
The stakes are high for Biden's top two legislative priorities.
The procedural vote to kick off the process was initially expected on Monday night, but Pelosi faced defections from a group of nine moderates who threatened to vote it down. They are insisting that the $550 billion infrastructure bill get an immediate vote and be signed into law before they start crafting the larger bill.
Pelosi has said for months that the two bills must move side-by-side. Dozens of progressives say they won't support the infrastructure bill without the bigger spending bill, while moderates are most interested in passing the infrastructure package into law.

While centrist Democrats are eager to pass a $1 trillion infrastructure bill that has already won approval in the Senate, liberals say they must prioritize a $3.5 trillion budget blueprint that would expand spending on child care and education. Both measures are priorities for Democratic President Joe Biden.
