“Let me just say that we’re going to pass the bill this week,” Pelosi (D-San Francisco) said. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona have said they won’t support a bill of that size. AdvertisementPelosi told fellow Democrats over the weekend that they “must” pass the social and environment package in the coming days, along with a separate infrastructure bill and a third measure preventing a government shutdown Friday. Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), who led a group of House moderates in pushing a quick vote by Monday on the infrastructure bill, said Sunday he wouldn’t be bothered by a slight delay. Pelosi didn’t commit when asked about a vote this week on the social spending and climate bill, which Democrats intend to pass with a simple majority without GOP support.
