Giving a concession to moderates, the rule also directs the House to consider the bipartisan bill by September 27. Due to a procedural maneuver, the passage of the rule bypassed a separate vote that also approved the budget proposal. Ultimately, the House voted on a rule to advance both the budget deal and a separate $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill. The issue underscored the leadership’s challenge in attempting to unite the liberal and progressive wing of the party. But the standoff over the issue led to a standoff that derailed efforts to move forward on Monday evening. The House vote came after painstaking negotiations between a group of Democratic leaders and moderates, leading to an agreement that paved the way for passage. The House of Representatives on Tuesday approved a budget framework that would pave the way for Democrats to spend up to $3.5 trillion on a comprehensive economic package to expand the social safety net that President Joe Biden signed on an agenda.
