POLITICO: 9 Dems threaten mutiny over budget plan
THE GUARDIAN: Tensions flare in Capitol as moderate Democrats hold up Biden budget plan
Other members of Congress said, "How dare you?!" and "I’m pissed off!" at now-10 corporate Democrats threatening to blow up Democrats' bold $3.5 trillion clean energy and infrastructure jobs plan -- which would also expand Medicare and child care.
A critical vote scheduled for 5:30pm yesterday got pushed past midnight, then cancelled, and there's still an impasse.
These right-wing Democrats are Josh Gottheimer (NJ-05), Filemon Vela (TX-34), Vicente Gonzalez (TX-15), Jim Costa (CA-16), Henry Cuellar (TX-28), Ed Case (HI-01), Carolyn Bourdeaux (GA-07), Jared Golden (ME-02), Kurt Schrader (OR-05) -- and now Stephanie Murphy (FL-07) too.
Ironically, several of the renegade corporate Democrats defeated challengers in primaries by saying they would "get stuff done" and were needed to guarantee a Democratic majority. Now, they are blocking the House Democratic majority's top agenda item.
HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE!
