We've got to give ourselves breathing room and time to strike the best deal possible. I have complete faith in Speaker Nancy Pelosi. She's one of the best dealmakers in the history of American government. But I am feeling very, very optimistic that we will not just get the infrastructure plan that passed the Senate in a bipartisan manner, but that we will get the reconciliation plan that Americans want and deserve. So you of course are a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. And you know, it's interesting listening to the progressives, listening to the moderates who definitely want to have this infrastructure vote immediately, as soon as possible and some who are in between.
