Infrastructure bill
quote:
The Congressional Black Caucus Was Key to the Infrastructure Vote

Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent the chairwoman of the caucus, Representative Joyce Beatty of Ohio, to announce a key deal, understanding that the lawmaker had more influence at that point than she did.

There were 13 Republican votes for. If they all had voted against, the bill would have gone down.

That's the story, right there. The progressives had their tantrum and the Republicans bailed Pelosi out.

That's not exactly clear. The order of voting mattered. Many progressives were cleared to vote no once a bunch of GOP legislators with big infrastructure needs in their districts bucked McCarthy's whip.
