CNN The Lead With Jake Tapper August 23, 2021 21:40:00

support to pass the infrastructure bill or not and the progressives also want a commitment to this bigger spending bill. mona, let me start with you. this group of nine moderate democrats says, in part, time kills deals. this is an old business saying in the essence of why we're pushing to get the bipartisan infrastructure deal through congress and immediately to president biden's desk, let's take the win and pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill. do you think they'd really vote against the budget bill, though? >> so that's the question is whether they will all stick together and really vote against the budget reconciliation bill, which would sink it. but, look, they have a very good argument, which is that with biden having been somewhat weakened by what's happened in afghanistan over the last few weeks, now more than ever they really have a strong argument for let's have a win. and politics is additive. if you have one one, it creates momentum for more. unfortunately, nancy pelosi has made the decision that she is going to rope these two things
