Katty Kay on Build Back Better Bill: No One Can Count Votes Like Nancy Pelosi

EXCERPT:

KAY: “We saw all of the division within House Democrats, those who didn’t want to vote on this until the Build Back Better bill was actually linked and didn’t want to vote on the early infrastructure — the hard infrastructure until this bill were going to pass as well. There was a lot of dissent amongst Progressives in her caucus, she had to deal with moderates in her caucus at various stages. It was not a pretty process, but she got it. She got both the hard infrastructure bill voted on and she got the soft infrastructure bill voted on. And we've always said, no one can count votes like Nancy Pelosi. Even when it was looking rough for her, Democrats in the White House and on Capitol Hill were reminding us, when she gets these votes through, people won’t remember what it looked like getting these votes through, they'll just remember that they passed. Now, of course, it has to get out to people, these money has to get out to Americans and it has to be felt around the country, and that’s going to take a little bit longer."
