Democrats want it over one way or another. As long as it is over. But that doesn’t mean that their victory is certain. It’s certainly not a given.
Note this item from Congressional Quarterly:
But one lawmaker, who asked not to be identified, quoted Pelosi as saying to her caucus: “I’m hearing that you’d like to move sooner rather than later. Is that the will of the body?” “There was a broad shout of ‘Yes!’” the lawmaker said. “I think everybody understands. We need to move on, we’ve got other things we’ve got to do, this is our last, best chance, let’s get it in front of the bodies and have appropriate votes and if it passes, it passes, and if it doesn’t, it doesn’t.”
