Senate Passes $2 Trillion Relief Bill; Pelosi Has Message For ‘Disappointed’ House Democrats

Excerpt: While the Senate passed the bill 96-0, with some Senators absent due to self-quarantine or health concerns, the House may not see such unanimity. Despite the economic relief bill’s sweeping provision and staggering final cost, it is not enough for many House Democrats, who want more of their agenda items included, as demonstrated by the House Democrats’ bill floated Monday and quickly withdrawn after widespread backlash over its long list of non-crisis-related, “Democratic wishlist” provisions — including new voting laws, collective bargaining rights for federal unions, and imposing carbon emissions caps on airlines. While Pelosi strongly signaled Wednesday that she will get the bill passed in the House on Friday, she also revealed that she’s having to do some work behind the scenes to get “disappointed” Democrats to back the historic bill. “What is important is for us to recognize the good that is in the bill, appreciate it for what it does,” Pelosi said on CNN’s “Situation Room” Wednesday evening. “Don’t judge it for what it doesn’t because we have more bills to come.”
