Republican Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis predicted that the president's larger Build Back Better bill may now 'die altogether' in the Senate.
reached out to Ocasio-Cortez's spokesperson for comment but did not immediately receive a response., a California Democrat, said that she still expects to pass the Build Back Better reconciliation package by Thanksgiving. However, the details are still being negotiated.
A group of moderate House Democrats refused to support the $1.75 trillion reconciliation legislation unless they first see scoring from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office about whether it will be fully paid for or add to the national debt. Democrats and Biden have maintained that the spending is fully offset.
Ocasio-Cortez pointed out the irony of the moderates' demand in a Friday tweet. She noted that the CBO had projected that the bipartisan infrastructure bill would add substantially to the national debt, although it would largely be offset by measures included to cover the costs.
