The House of Representatives moved forward on Democrats agenda with a procedural vote Tuesday after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) struck a deal with centrist Democrats who blew up the original plan to vote Monday night.

The moderates, led by Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), threatened to vote against a high-priority budget resolution this week because they wanted the House to vote first on a bipartisan infrastructure bill that passed the Senate earlier this month.

Pelosi mollified the moderates with some obscure parliamentary maneuvering and the promise of a vote on the infrastructure bill before October.

The House approved the budget resolution Tuesday, with no Democrats voting nay, as part of a procedural measure, known as a rule, that also calls for the House to take up the infrastructure bill by Sept. 27.
