WASHINGTON (AP) — In their fight over trillions of dollars, their paramount policy goals and perhaps their political fate, this isn’t helping: Democratic progressives and centrists say they don’t trust each other. They’ll need every Democratic vote in the 50-50 Senate and all but three in the House to succeed. But progressives dominating the House are promising to derail it by voting no because they lack confidence that the centrists will back the separate $3.5 trillion legislation, which progressives treasure. The guarantee she and other progressives want is a Senate-passed, compromise $3.5 trillion measure that progressives support and can pass the House. “I don’t want to be rolled.” He said House progressives want “an assurance” that the Senate will send a compromise bill to the House.
