(CNN) -

The U.S. House of Representatives passed the $ 1.2 trillion infrastructure bill after hours of delay and debate among Democrats.

This bill has already passed the Senate and will now go to the desk of President Joe Biden.

On Friday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she intended to vote on the final passage of the infrastructure bill and the social spending bill known as Build Back Better.

But, it became clear Friday morning that a group of House moderates were not ready to support the final passage of Build Back Better for a variety of reasons.

Biden made multiple calls to House Democrats on Thursday as the leadership pushed to block votes for the economic and climate package, according to several people familiar with the calls.

Democratic leaders in the House of Representatives have already had to push back their deadline for passage of the bipartisan infrastructure bill twice before.
