Thirteen Republicans voted in favor of passage: Reps. Don Young of Alaska; Adam Kinzinger of Illinois; Fred Upton of Michigan; Don Bacon of Nebraska; Jeff Van Drew and Chris Smith of New Jersey; Andrew Garbarino, John Katko, Nicole Malliotakis and Tom Reed of New York; Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio; Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania; and David McKinley of West Virginia.
Meanwhile six Democrats voted against, including: Reps. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts; Rashida Tlaib of Michigan; Ilhan Omar of Minnesota; Cori Bush of Missouri and Jamaal Bowman and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.
How it happened: Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) spent a majority of the evening on the phone working all factions in her party before House moderates and progressives brokered a deal that led to the two votes.
The deal: Moderate holdouts for the Build Back Better Act, who demanded a CBO score before committing to vote on infrastructure, agreed to sign an assurance that they would vote in favor of its passage once the score is released, a lawmaker told Axios’ Hans Nichols.
