'I'll let you know as soon as I wish to,' Pelosi told reporters during her weekly news conference, when asked about scheduling what's become an elusive target for her party.
Democrats barely held onto the New Jersey governor’s office following huge losses across the nation. Now, President Joe Biden’s response and what House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is saying about paid leave.
Pelosi said she was"very unhappy" about missing her previous Oct. 31 deadline for passing the already Senate-passed bipartisan infrastructure bill, stalled as progressives held their votes to continue negotiations on a larger social spending package. In an earlier closed-door meeting, Pelosi told her deputies that if the votes are there, they intend to vote on the social spending bill as soon as Thursday night, with votes on the bipartisan infrastructure plan planned for Friday, sources familiar confirmed to ABC News.
Pelosi announced on Wednesday that Democrats were adding four weeks of paid family and medical leave back to the social spending package, to the praise of progressives, but a move which Manchin said he doesn't support, raising concerns with the cost.
