Pelosi presses for votes Friday on Dems' agenda as Biden calls key House members

President Joe Biden was making last-minute calls to House members as Speaker Nancy Pelosi pressed for critical votes Friday on the Democratic agenda.

President Joe Biden was making last-minute calls to key House members as Speaker Nancy Pelosi pressed for two critical votes Friday on the Democratic agenda: the president's $1.75 trillion "Build Back Better" social spending and climate policy package and the separate $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan.

But Democratic infighting continued as Democratic moderates demanded Pelosi wait for a cost estimate on the larger bill from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office before going forward.

That could take weeks.

Late Friday afternoon, Pelosi announced the House would vote Friday on the already Senate-passed bipartisan infrastructure plan and then take a procedural vote on moving forward with the "Build Back Better" legislation -- but not a final vote -- a significant concession.
