result from my experience in a much longer process in terms of getting this bill to president biden s desk. now she could pass the infrastructure bill today. she could just say we don t have the votes on the build-back-better act. we could get a bill to the white house today, have a signing ceremony next week with a bipartisan group of people. but she s not going do that. she wants both of these to pass in concert. she s had that position also for a long time. so hallie, everything is uncertain. i mean, our headline at punch bowl news midday, and thanks for the shout out, is we re skeptical that this will happen today. i will it will you we are expecting a dear colleague, a letter from nancy pelosi to her colleagues, in this hour we imagine. we expect it s going to lay out what she sees as the path forward. remember, next week is a recess week for congress. if they want to get this done before thanksgiving basically, they need to get it done this week or at least into this weekend or
elections, understanding that we have fair and honest elections in georgia. and that s what we proved, that s why we have a lot of data in my book, all back tested, all fact based. so people can look at they have to really face the facts. i need to note i m not trying to get down a rabbit hole with you on stacey abrams here. i do want to make sure people are aware that stacey abrams did acknowledge her loss. that is something that she did do in the aftermath of the election. let me ask but what happened in washington, the republican voting rights bill. you tweeted yesterday that the bill would, quote, undermine the security of our elections. you have become listen, you have a national profile now, sir, because you have spoken up against interference in the elections as it relates to your interactions with former president trump. how do you square that now with a bill that s intended to safeguard exactly that? those elections? well, the bill actually, the federal bill would actu
report that finds the social and climate spending bill will be paid for, she says they re proceeding with the bill, we just don t know when. i m joined by debbie stabenow, democrat of course from michigan and a member of the budget and finance committees. senator, thank you for being back on the show. it s great to be with you again. i pose that question to you then, senator, when might we see a vote on this? where are the negotiations right now in your view on this the senate? well, i think right now what s happening is that they re working hard to get all the votes together in the house, and i would expect later tonight or tomorrow. i m hopeful. and then we ll go through, you know, all the the efforts that we need to do in the senate around cbo and the parliamentarian and so on, and hopefully the week before thanksgiving we hopefully will have an opportunity to vote on it. and just to give people a sense of the timeline here, if it doesn t get done in the house by the end o
