They’ve got 9 going rogue… GOP pounding Dems on “inflation!” and “the debt!” incessantly…. gee I wonder if these moderates would vote to raise the debt ceiling?
…moderates, led by Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), had been issuing similar veiled warnings for weeks, calling on Pelosi to bring the bipartisan Senate infrastructure bill up for a vote as soon as it’s ready. But this is the first time the lawmakers have explicitly said they’re willing to block the budget resolution in an attempt to force Pelosi’s hand — the latest setback in what is becoming a painful August recess for House Democrats.
“We’re all getting Republican commercials playing in our district, beating us up for everything from inflation to Afghanistan,” said one House Democrat in a swing seat. “Why not deliver some really good news in the month of August?”

Pelosi can afford to lose only three votes in the House and will need near unanimity among Democrats to pass the budget resolution. https://t.co/BgwpfIX20Q
