Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY., said that she will vote against her party’s infrastructure bill if it comes to a vote Thursday because Democrats have not provided enough details on what will be in the larger social spending bill.
“I don’t see how ethically I can vote to increase U.S. climate emissions,” Ocasio-Cortez said Wednesday, noting that a “framework” of President Biden’s “Build Back Better” plan isn’t enough detail to sway her vote on infrastructure. “We have had a framework for six months. We need text.”
The New York lawmaker’s comments come as moderate Democrats and the party’s more progressive faction have feuded over the details of the proposed social spending plan, with progressives threatening to vote “no” on the infrastructure plan unless the two bills are voted on side-by-side.
