Pelosi drug price plan threatened by centrist defections POLITICO 3 hrs ago By Alice Miranda Ollstein and Susannah Luthi © Greg Nash/Pool via AP Rep.

House Democrats’ push to tack a sweeping drug price negotiation bill to President Joe Biden’s infrastructure package was always going to face a fight in the evenly divided Senate. But the legislation is also hitting troubled waters in the House.
At least 10 caucus moderates are signaling opposition to Democrats’ drug pricing negotiation bill more than enough to potentially force House Speaker Nancy Pelosi into dropping the reforms from infrastructure legislation Democrats hope to pass along party lines. Pelosi can only spare two Democratic defections on partisan legislation because of the party’s slim House majority.
