"Reconciliation talks are likely to slip into October amid ongoing policy disputes and a brewing fight in the House between moderates and progressives.
That leaves President Biden’s agenda in an uncertain position, with less than a week to go before a scheduled House vote Sept. 27 on the bipartisan infrastructure bill.
Progressives are threatening to vote it down unless the Senate sends over a reconciliation package first. Moderates, who want changes to the $3.5 trillion package and a smaller top line, say they won’t back reconciliation unless the infrastructure bill passes as planned (E&E Daily, Sept. 21).
But Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said yesterday that the Senate will not be able to vote on its reconciliation bill before the House moves to the bipartisan bill Monday. “I don’t think we could even procedurally get that done,” Schumer told reporters."
