On Monday, the House will began debate on the bipartisan infrastructure framework, Pelosi said, with the vote set for Thursday, "the day which the surface transportation authorization expires." She thanked the Democratic caucus for "making this an historic opportunity for our country, as we honor President Biden's vision for the future by passing his legislative agenda."
