Daily Mail
Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Monday night delayed a procedural vote on President Joe Biden's $3.5 trillion budget, sending lawmakers home after midnight when she failed to reach a deal with moderate members of her party.
'We will come back tomorrow,' Pelosi told reporters as she left the Capitol shortly after midnight. She was on the phone with House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer as she left the building.
Negotiations continued behind closed doors in the Capitol on Tuesday morning as Democratic leaders tried to negotiate a deal that appeases both the moderate and liberal wings of the Democratic Party and that would allow passage for the budget and a bipartisan infrastructure plan.
House leaders rescheduled the vote for around 1 p.m. Tuesday afternoon in a second attempt - a sign that a deal has been made.
'When we bring up the bill, we will have the votes,' Pelosi told reporters upon her return to the Capitol on Tuesday morning.
