D.C. – The House on Friday voted 228-206 to pass a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill after months of tense negotiations, sending the bipartisan measure to President Joe Biden's desk for his signature.
While the democrats managed to unify House progressives and moderates to hold a vote on the Senate-passed bill, not all members of the party ultimately supported it.
Six progressives who have called for both – the infrastructure and the separate economic package, known as the Build Back Better Act, to move together – voted "no" on the legislation.
The six House Democrats who voted against the bill are:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York
Rep. Jamaal Bowman of New York
Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota
Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri
Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts
Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan
The 13 Republicans who vote in support of the bill are:
Rep. Chris Smith of New Jersey
Rep. Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey
Rep. Andrew Garbarino of New York
Rep. John Katko of New York
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis of New York
Rep. Tom Reed of New York
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania
Rep. David McKinley of West Virginia
Rep. Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio
Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska
Fred Upton of Michigan
Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois
