House Maj Ldr: We Want BIF, Build Back Better On House Floor Next Week

US

  • Hoyer: "The House will aim to consider the bipartisan infrastructure investment and jobs act and the build back better act this work period.[...] In the build back better plan and the bipartisan infrastructure framework plan, which is a bipartisan bill on the Senate side. I hope to bring both of those bills to the floor next week if they're ready."
