AOC said that party leaders will have a tough time corralling votes if reconciliation doesn't pass soon.
The congresswoman told the NYT that the process for passing Build Back Better has been "demoralizing for a lot of folks."
The House voted to advance the reconciliation bill, but it faces uncertainty in the Senate.
