1:12Now PlayingHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who recently clashed with Democratic moderates over the size of the $3.5 trillion spending bill, is now risking a fight with leftists in her chamber — indicating on Wednesday that she has not ruled out a pared down bill in the face of opposition from Sen. Joe Manchin.
“This is sort of a compressed challenge because people need help right away, and we will get the job done. … I don’t know what the number will be, we are marking at $3.5 [trillion]],” Pelosi (D-Calif.) told reporters. “We’re not going above that.”
Her comments come shortly after reports emerged that the moderate Manchin (D-WV) told White House officials and congressional leaders that he is open to a $1.5 trillion package, far lower than what progressives have advocated for, according to Axios.
