House Democrats are looking at voting on both bills in the Build Back Better package on Tuesday.

A new version of the bigger bill with some revisions might be proposed as soon as tomorrow, and Rules Committee could take up the rule as soon as Monday. Then both bills could be on the floor as soon as Tuesday.
