With quite a bit less power than they had last year Republicans are now switching sides like a quarter being flipped demanding Democrats meet them half way. According to reports, 10 GOP Senators spent this weekend once again trying to lower the COVID-19 relief bill out of what they claim is “overkill” and the fact that “the cost.”
The Washington Post reports that GOPers are demanding a smaller bill but are gunning to prevent Democrats from using a special set of budget rules they claim would be against “unity.”
Furthermore — the GOP reportedly wants to cut the $15h/r mandate; lower the relief checks to $1,000 and ensure that the Democrats will meet them halfway. It’s worth noting that for four years and with their own majority, Republicans almost never considered unity on any grounds.
