Pelosi, the moderates and the progressives: Speaker's shifting alliances as she pushed Biden's spending plans
Fox News
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared to shift her alliances over and over as she pushed Biden's massive spending plans.
The effort represents just the latest stage in Democrats' monthslong saga trying to pass both an infrastructure bill and a reconciliation bill, with Pelosi pushed and pulled between progressives and moderates in her own party. It was just earlier this month Pelosi was steamrolling progressives to get the moderate-backed infrastructure to President Biden's desk.
"At the end of the day, things change, situations change," R Street Institute senior fellow James Wallner said of Pelosi's rapidly changing alliances. "What lawmakers are concerned about is outcomes, and they think about this is – anything is OK as long as it gives you that outcome… They're just changing their means to reach the same ends."
