Speaker Pelosi Opposes Breaking Up Social Spending Plan Into Smaller Bills

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reacts to President Biden's comments at his news conference Wednesday that he may be only able to pass "chunks" of his Build Back Better agenda. "Chunks is an interesting word," she says before adding that she still expects the legislation to be "significant" even if it is more "limited" in scope. However, the speaker says that breaking it up into smaller bills will not work. "This is a reconciliation. So when people say let's divide up...they don't understand the process," she says. close
