Sources: Pelosi working to flip Dems for infrastructure bill; progressive leader Rep. Jayapal: “stick to the plan”

A source familiar with the whip operation of the House progressive caucus tells CNN that their number of “no” votes remains “solid” despite House Speaker Nancy Pelosi working to flip their votes. Democratic leaders are struggling to strike a deal with progressives, who have said they won’t vote for the Senate-passed infrastructure bill before reaching a deal on a spending package. Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal is the chair of the head of the House progressive caucus. She joins AC360 to give an update on negotiations and says she doesn’t think Speaker Pelosi will bring a vote to the floor because “there’s just not the votes there.” Plus, the FBI visited the home of Brian Laundrie again as the police continue to search for him. The family attorney told CNN the FBI was there to collect items to help in the search for Gabby Petito’s fiancé. Lenny DePaul is a former commander for the U.S. Marshals Service Regional Fugitive Task Force. He tells Anderson Cooper authorities are “leaving no stones unturned.”   Airdate: September 30, 2021   Guests: Rep.
