After Senate Stops Democrats In Their Tracks – Progressives Order Biden To Make 4 Major Maneuvers
What’s Happening:
Democrats promised unity in the wake of the 2020 Election. But as soon as the dust settled, they took the nuclear option to ram their agenda through.
They deliberately chose the reconciliation tactic to get their $1.9 trillion plan done, to avoid working with Republicans. But they recently learned, from the Senate parliamentarian, that reconciliation would not allow their $15/hour minimum wage hike.
Apparently, Pelosi doesn’t want to play by the rules and is trying to force it anyway.
From IJR:
Despite a Senate parliamentarian ruling, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is pressing forward with the minimum wage hike provision in the COVID-19 relief package.
Not sure how she expects it to happen, when the Senate will be unable to approve it.
Some want Joe Bide...
