WASHINGTON – The House delayed a vote Thursday on a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill as negotiations continue on separate legislation with President Joe Biden's social welfare priorities.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer's office said late Thursday the House will take no more votes after talks between key lawmakers and White House officials lasted into the evening.
Officials and lawmakers are expected to resume talks Friday.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Wednesday she wouldn't call a vote on the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill without also having legislative language for whatever compromise is reached with the Senate and White House on the $3.5 trillion package of Biden's priorities. She also said she wouldn't call a vote that would fail on the floor.
