Watch Jean-Pierre’s remarks in the player above. The House is preparing to debate and vote on a revised draft of President Joe Biden’s now-$1.85 trillion domestic policy package as well as a companion $1 trillion infrastructure bill.

Eager to show voters they can deliver after dismal election results, Democrats are hoping to vote quickly but that could slip into Friday. This is a developing story and will be updated.
