Pelosi initially planned to hold votes for both the infrastructure and the Build Back Better Act, but was forced to abandon that plan after some moderates demanded the House wait for scores from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). Instead, Pelosi called for a vote on a procedural rule, which would only bring the bill to the floor, not pass it.

Some D.C. locals felt Pelosi was not in control of the Democrats, particularly more progressive members of the party.

"She doesn't have control over the progressives," one local said.

"I mean, look at how Congress is divided. Democrats, even the Democrats, you have so many caucuses within the Democratic Party in Congress." 

"She is trying to please every one of them," the man continued.
