Our caucus is not going to allow just a tiny sliver to pass and then everything else die. We`re not going to leave these people behind, these issues behind.

I think that`s right. Look, I think these are arbitrary dates. I think Monday was an arbitrary -- today was an arbitrary date that was set by a small group of people.
And if there is any piece of this reconciliation bill that isn`t agreed to by the Senate and the House, and if that delay goes on and on as it does here when you don`t have urgency, when you don`t have a deadline, when you don`t have a…
I don`t think the speaker will bring the vote to the floor if she doesn`t -- the bill to the floor if she doesn`t have the votes.
It`s been really clear that we want to work as hard as we can to get a deal on reconciliation to make sure that the entire bill is passed by the Senate, as well, so that there is no delays. And then we stand just as committed as ever to…
Congress now faces a choice. Advance the entirety of an agenda that gets American families the help they need or deliver only a fraction of it. That`s why we as leaders of the Congressional Progressive Caucus remain committed to voting for…
One in four women across America has had an abortion. I am one of them. It is a deeply personal choice about control of our own bodies and the consequences of a choice that only we will have to live with. Do not criminalize me and millions…
Progressives will vote for both bills because we proudly support President Biden`s entire Build Back Better package. But a majority of our caucus, our 96-member caucus will only vote for the small infrastructure bill after the big Build…
We have the vast majority of the Democratic caucus on board with getting these bills done.
We need a little bit more time... we are just saying we need a couple of more weeks to be able to pull everybody together.
We support the Progressive Caucus in the House making sure that we now deliver on that promise.
We are ready to deliver both pieces of legislation to the President's desk for the signature.
We're going to pass the reconciliation bill first, as was agreed upon by the Senate, and then we are going to pass the infrastructure bill and we're going to deliver both to the President.
We're not leaving part of the agenda behind. And we're not taking the urgency off of things like childcare, paid leave, climate change, health care, immigration.
The President yesterday said to that group, and then he reiterated to us when we met with him that he said, if you want to -- if somebody wants to make this number smaller, tell us what you want to cut, right?
Let's just remember that this is the President's agenda. And the two bills comprise the bill back better agenda that the President laid out for us in front of Congress.
a majority of our 96 member caucus will only vote for the small infrastructure bill after the Build Back Better Act passes.
Anyone that is blocking the reconciliation bill at this point is voting against the president`s agenda, against the Democratic agenda.
We will vote for both bills. We will vote for the bipartisan infrastructure bill which is much smaller and frankly Rachel it has a lot of things that our members don`t like. But if we can get the reconciliation bill that has the majority…
We are committed to delivering the entirety of the president`s agenda to the president`s desk and that is what we have had to do.
Let’s not self-inflict a totally pointless crisis and huge unnecessary expenditure on our country by having us hit the debt ceiling.
the timing of a vote on the already hammered out bipartisan bill on so-called hard infrastructure
Try us. I got more than half of the caucus who feels very strongly we`re going to deliver the entirety of the president`s agenda to the president.
