The measure was delayed by an all-night speech from GOP leader Kevin McCarthy. Centrist Democrats in the Senate have raised objections to some provisions that will likely alter the House-passed bill.

President Biden and House Democrats are planning more than 1,000 events in the coming weeks to try to sell voters on the Build Back Better plan as they face sour poll numbers.

President Biden and congressional Democrats are trying to show voters the benefits of the infrastructure bill that's now law, and the Build Back Better plan they are trying to pass.

The House of Representatives passed a trillion dollar infrastructure bill Friday, delivering President Biden a major legislative victory after months of negotiation with his own party.

Democratic leaders in the House are still hoping to vote on a large part of President Joe Biden's domestic agenda Friday. But as the clock winds down, they're struggling to round up the votes.

Democrats say they are closing in on votes to turn much of President Biden's domestic agenda into law. Some Democrats say the bargaining has taken on a new urgency after Tuesday's election losses.

Democrats are trying to figure out what lies ahead after election setbacks, like a big loss in Virginia and a shockingly close governor race in New Jersey.

President Biden outlined a framework that he said would win support from all 50 Senate Democrats and pass the House. But it's unclear whether that is true.

The Biden administration believes the resulting legislation will still be transformative, but it is far less than what the president originally proposed.

Democrats say the tax on billionaire assets would help pay for President Biden's social spending bill.

Top Democrats are currently working behind the scenes to cut the cost of programs without undermining their policy goals.

Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., says the Senate will vote next week on voting rights as Democrats try to advance much of President Biden's agenda.

After a deal was reached with Republicans, Senate Democrats passed a bill to avoid the immediate threat of default by shifting the debt limit deadline to early December.

The leaders appear to have reached an agreement to raise the debt limit to December. But Democrats and Republicans aren't moving off their positions for how to achieve a long-term fix.

The issue of the debt ceiling crops of every few years, floats in the public consciousness and then vanishes. Why do we pay so much attention to it?

The agreement could push the fight over how to raise the nation's borrowing limit to December.

The short-term spending bill avoids a partial government shutdown, but other major issues, such as suspending the debt limit, remain unresolved.

Democrats haven't come together to pass an infrastructure bill or agree on the size of the reconciliation measure. They've yet to pass a bill to keep the government funded or raise the debt ceiling.

House leaders are trying to pass a bipartisan infrastructure deal on Thursday. But that's one piece of a larger legislative puzzle that could stymie the Democratic agenda in Congress.
