Centrist Democrats now control the fate of President Biden's social spending and climate package after Congress passed his bipartisan infrastructure bill late last week.
on Friday after securing commitments from a narrow but pivotal group of moderate Democrats that they would vote for the Build Back Better bill after the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office released a cost analysis that matched White House estimates saying the legislation is fully paid for.Five Democratic lawmakers — Reps. Ed Case of Hawaii, Josh Gottheimer of N.J.
"I do think it shifted a little bit of the power away from the progressives and toward the moderates," said Bill Hoagland, senior vice president at the Washington-based Bipartisan Policy Center. Jonathan Kott, a Democratic consultant and former aide to Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., said moderates"will continue to negotiate in good faith as they have been" but simply want the CBO score."If the CBO is not as expected, I think negotiations will continue but definitely make this a longer process," he said.The first is Manchin. He has objected to some of the provisions in the House bill, particularly four weeks of paid leave.
Hoagland said the Treasury Department may have some wiggle room under the statute in terms of when to transfer the funds, in order to avoid getting closer to the borrowing limit before that issue is resolved.
