Government Shutdown – Democratic Disagreements Jeopardize Biden’s Agenda

President Joe Biden’s agenda risked being derailed by divisions among his own Democrats as moderates on Wednesday voiced their anger over the idea of ​​passing a $ 1 trillion infrastructure bill ahead of a critical vote to avoid government shutdown to move.

The White House said talks about dual laws that would revitalize the country’s highways and airports and fund social programs and climate protection had reached a “precarious” point as moderates and progressives divided over about $4 trillion to spend.

Congress, which the Democrats control with a reasonable margin, must vote on a bipartisan resolution to fund federal operations by early December before funding expires at midnight on Thursday. Senate
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has scheduled a vote on the measure from Thursday morning, giving the House of Representatives plenty of time to act.

The House of Representatives is expected to vote Thursday on a $1 trillion infrastructure bill that has already been passed by the Senate with bipartisan support, although some party leaders warned the vote could be postponed again, dismaying the moderates.

Rep. Stephanie Murphy, a moderate Democrat who supports the Infrastructure Bill, warned against foiling or delaying legislation.

“If the vote fails or is delayed tomorrow, there would be a significant breach of trust that would slow the momentum to advance the implementation of Biden’s agenda,” he told reporters on Wednesday.
With House progressives warning against voting against the Infrastructure Bill pending agreement on the separate multi-million dollar plan that focuses on social spending and climate, the vote was not guaranteed.

“The vote (Thursday) will only go if we have the votes to pass the bill,” Rep. Dan Kildee, Democratic deputy chairman in the House of Representatives, told reporters.
