reporter: yeah, one vote down but so much more for congress to do and not a whole lot of time for congress to do it. we re talking now, the focus is on the human infrastructure bill. this is things like child care. this is things like paid family leave, money for climate and the environment. it s $1.7 trillion. what we saw last night was a rule voted on, essentially what that means is it was a permission slip for the house to be able to have a final vote. but that final vote didn t happen yesterday. that final vote is not going to happen until congress gets back from their recess the week of november 15th, so we have things really backing up towards the end of the year. there was a lot of back and forth yesterday about whether or not there would even be a vote on that rule. here s what nancy pelosi had to say about all this back and forth. it is a party whose vitality and diversity is something that we all respect and admire. we are not a lock step party. it s an additional challen
human infrastructure bill. republicans have something they want to get after, and democrats have something they can sell. and mark, charlie, i want you to stay with me for a second. i want to bring in manu raju, i understand you were just in a gaggle with congresswoman jayapal. what is your read on things right now? reporter: yeah, they talked to reporters. didn t answer any questions from reporters. jayapal has been in the negotiations with the centrists, all day long, they ve been essentially squabbling over the strategy. they announced moments ago, they have an agreement to move forward. the progressives say they ll move ahead with the infrastructure bill on the floor right now. and it does appear there s five democrats who have voted no on
