President Biden's social safety net and climate bill cleared a key procedural vote in the House, where it still awaits final approval
The House of Representatives passed a key procedural vote to line up eventual passage of the Build Back Better Act, President Joe Biden's signature social safety net and climate change bill.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., right, and House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., conduct a news conference on plans to move forward with the Build Back Better Act and the infrastructure bill in the U.S. Capitol on Friday, November 5, 2021.
The final passage plan fell apart late Friday morning, when it became clear that a small group of House moderates would not vote for the bill until they saw an economic analysis from the Congressional Budget Office of the bill's long term impacts on the budget deficit, known as a CBO score. The CBO is unlikely to have that report ready for several days, however, and Congress will be in recess next week. Initially, it had appeared as though House moderates would be satisfied with a report that was released Thursday by the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation.
