Ultimately, the issue will be decided on its political merits on a particular day. If Pelosi put it on the House floor when they return from their DWP next week, it would likely pass by a 70-80 vote plurality. However, given the Dem’s inability to move forward on the “progressive agenda” (aka paid parental leave, child tax credits, Covid vaccine funding, voting rights etc), her caucus is in no hurry to rush a vote on legislation one frustrated Dem referenced as the “soccer moms agenda”. Ultimately, it will pass but probably not in the next month or two.
