Struck that deal and reached this agreement to vote for it by the week of november 15th. now, one question is whether moderates will stick to that plan and what happens when it gets to the senate and senators like joe manchin wants to see changes and he is of course one of those key holdouts. take a listen to what president biden said about his confidence in getting that larger package passed. >> im not going to get into who made what commitments to me. i dont negotiate in public. but i feel con...

Have made clear they will not support it unless theres a vote at the same time on the second package. that shifted tonight. heres why. with the moderates holding out, the white house and nancy pelosi shifted their attention towards progressives, trying to figure out if there was a way to move forward on the infrastructure proposal, and the rule to govern debate on the $1.9 trillion package. that means that as they waited for that cbo score, they would push off that $1.9 trillion proposal. but th...

With it yet but to put it most simply, they dont have the votes. that was the case this morning when the president and speaker pelosi were trying to pursue both bills of his $3 trillion agenda and it is the same now after they pivoted to only trying to move one of those bills. just the infrastructure proposal. this morning, as noted anderson, it was the moderates. right now, its proegszives. over the course of the last several hours, there has been an effort from the president to the speaker, bo...

Infrastructure bill passed, now 205 votes. any minute, they should pass the threshold, and joe biden will soon get this bill on his desk. >> a significant victory. nice to speak to you again, manu. hang with us. keep an eye on that vote. were going to take a quick commercial break. charlie, mark, manu, after this break were going to come back. well likely get the final vote on the infrastructure proposal, at this very moment, which according to manu seems very on its way to getting the 218 votes...

Midterm prospects on, they can put it in the background. theyre in the midst of passing bills, and they can feel the exhilaration of actually doing something in washington, which is rare. >> the yeas, 228. the nays, 206. the motion is adopted. >> and you can hear the cheers right there from the house chamber, as the gavel went down. they passed the presidents infrastructure proposal, $1.2 trillion. this is not something that has several more steps to go on capitol hill. this is headed to the pre...

Infrastructure proposal, the second one has a ways to go. if theres anything weve seen over the course of the last several weeks and months, there is still very real trust issues between progressives and moderates. but thats part of the reason i want to bring jessica dean in right now. you hear them trying to calm the democrats down to some degree with the gaveling. do you think this marks a br breakthrough on the trust perspective between progressives and moderates? >> reporter: its a great pro...

Would like to schedule a vote on the bipartisan infrastructure proposal. they want to see a text that can be voted on, not just a framework. they want to see the tangibles of what this plan is going to look like. the head of the progressive caucus had said that having the president come and ask for them to vote for the bill wasnt going to necessarily get her members onboard. well see what kind of heavy lift the president might have ahead for him, as he is meeting with the house democrats. he cou...

Headed. phil, how disappointed is the president? >> reporter: they were taking a calculated risk. the president announcing a framework that didnt have full agreement. the president going to capitol hill and making a pitch for agreement on that framework. its a risk. its a roll of the dice. at least in this 24-hour period its a bet that did not pay off. white house officials are cognizant of that fact. you dont send the president to capitol hill and expect him to not get something across the fini...

Mattingly with a fair bit of news tonight. phil, first of all, you just heard what the senator said, mentioned earlier senators manchin and sinema were at the white house earlier this evening. whats the latest? >> i think you have to view this when you talk to white house officials that if they can move forward, if there is a pathway to move forward on both pieces. the vote on the $1.2 trillion infrastructure proposal or the economic and climate package you were just speaking with senator warren...

>> im feeling optimistic. i think weve made really good progress. you know, it helps a lot when you know youre going to pay for it and when the pay-for that weve got here is something people really get behind and i think we are getting closer on all the rest of the pieces so i feel a lot of momentum. a lot of energy right now among the democrats. >> you think by the end of the week? >> you know, i hope so. i have to tell you, i feel a lot of hope that were really going to get good things done fo...
