President Biden and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) are on a collision course, at least at the moment, as they race to realize their sweeping infrastructure agenda heading into next year’s midterm elections.
The two Democratic heavyweights face identical pressures, as both are under enormous strain from their party’s liberal base to make sure a big social spending agenda isn’t undercut or even torpedoed by work on a bipartisan infrastructure bill.
But there are also subtly different motivations for Biden, a centrist who is not up for reelection until 2024 and vowed to break Washington’s fever by working with Republicans, and Pelosi, the veteran liberal leader with a narrow House majority dominated by progressive voices. She and her caucus are facing headwinds in next year’s midterms, historically a losing proposition for a House majority in the president’s party.
