ultimately agreed to it because it was a two-track strategy. we were very clear. three months ago, i think, is the first statement i put out after we talked to our caucus members that we would go along with that, but only on the condition that we passed the reconciliation bill first and we would deliver our votes regardless of how people feel about the infrastructure bill, we would deliver our votes for the infrastructure bill. we would deliver the entirety of the president's algenda to him for his signature. >> how do you respond to the argument i'm sure you've heard from more conservative members of the democratic caucus that the votes are not there for the bigger $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill in the senate. sinema and manchin are not there. if the bipartisan caucus votes to defeat the infrastructure bill because the bigger budget package hasn't passed first, then you are basically hurting
