Democrats and Republicans tangled over the size and scope of Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion Covid-19 relief plan Wednesday, despite the broad public support for the package and a new push by business leaders to get it passed -- a sign of the difficulties facing the new President, who had hoped to be a bridge beyond Washington's partisan gridlock.
But with the bill headed to the House floor for a vote as early as Friday, Republicans face significant political risk by forming a unified front of opposition to the legislation, especially given that nearly 7 in 10 Americans supported the bill in a Quinnipiac University poll released earlier this month.
The US Food and Drug Administration released an analysis on Wednesday stating that the Johnson & Johnson vaccine has met requirements for emergency use authorization, a decision that the FDA is expected to make soon.

MaeveReston Why do these people even run for office. Their top priority is 2024, they have no intention of doing the work they are paid to do. Rally for more divisive hate and work it up into a freazy with lies to build a private party never to serve a nation, only to feed the radical.
MaeveReston Another round of GOP obstructionism, attacking relief people need because rich, white Republicunts only care about corporations, and don't give a shit about people.
MaeveReston This is a form of modern slavery. The master keeps the slave uneducatwd (see broken down inner city schools) working for a pittance, mistreated in every way possible (job discrimination, police harassment, housing etc.) and then blames the victim.
MaeveReston RISK? Now they worry about risk? Where they heck have they been the last 12 years cause I can say that since Reagan the GOP has done NOTHING but obstruct and whine!
MaeveReston Are the people of their states so well off they are not needing any help or do they just not care
MaeveReston Again Republicans all saying they will not pass by President Biden‘s bill again I’ll say they do not care about the American people so why do they keep getting voted in
MaeveReston Congressman/ Senator XXXX (R), who was among the XX who betrayed their oath to the Constitution regarding The Insurrection of 1-6-21....and voted to deny aid to your small business, your hospital, your schools and to all people as 5 Million souls were lost...
MaeveReston Against COVID relief or against some of the other stuff not related to the virus at all
MaeveReston GOPHypocrisy GOP Party over the American People. Thankfully the Democrats and 46 choose to help us all. GOPCowards
MaeveReston This is a cute headline and all, but they risk absolutely zero backlash. They’re already pushing the disinformation to their sheep about how Democrats are the ones tanking this with “unnecessary” spending
MaeveReston They think the left drink the blood of children. Can we just get a new opposition party? This one needs counseling and the internet unplugged.
MaeveReston I thought presidentbiden was going to use his executive powers to pass this bill. C'mon President Biden don't let down the American people.
MaeveReston What is the backlash arguing against exactly?
MaeveReston Who cares we have the majority. JAM This through just like Republicans did with Amy Coney Barrett and other items. Get support and if we can't pummel them with the press of they are denying you help!! If we have to drop $15 minimum wage fine but get it done.
MaeveReston 70% of Americans want the bill passed and republicans don’t, way to read a room republicans
MaeveReston Trump’s cult syndicate going against the wishes of a good 2/3 majority of the country. Go for it! Keep up the good work!
MaeveReston CNN should be clear and put a headline like Republican refuse to help struggling American during trying times!
MaeveReston GOP will do nothing for the well being of America. GOP cares not for humanity, but themselves. No supports for the poor, no supports through a pandemic and certainly no equality in anything.
MaeveReston The GOP never seems to care about the people they took an oath to serve. Are they following instructions sent through McCarthy following his visit to the orange grove at mar-a-lago?
MaeveReston Tit for tat politics. The people are the worst hit. And it all started just simply bcos a black man dare to aspire to the highest office in the land. Since then, its no longer what is good for all but what can we do to obstruct the common good since its the other side's idea.
MaeveReston I dont agree that a 6 year old receive a 1400 check..
MaeveReston That's the GOP, anything to keep them hungry and homeless!
MaeveReston As they should.
MaeveReston McCarthy only cares about one thing.. he wants to be Speaker of the House. He doesn’t care about his constituents, he doesn’t care about anyone but himself!
MaeveReston No they don't.
MaeveReston You gutless GOP Senators had very little INTEREST over the past year to address the Covid-19 Pandemic! With Joe Biden being President, you claim a DEEP DEVOTION relating to 'Positive' patients, Covid-19 deaths (over 500,000 now) vaccines and Biden's Covid-19 Relief Plan.
MaeveReston Republicans spent 4 years sucking. Give them time to swallow and make sure they brush their teeth and wash their hands before you negotiate.
MaeveReston Again I cannot wrap my head around this. Are Republicans immune to Covid? I mean why are so many of you all still rallying against, fixing this and uniting our Country?
MaeveReston A vote against hope is a political death wish. People will remember those politicians that vote to take the food from their tables and the roof from over their heads.
MaeveReston Absolutely right
MaeveReston Republicans constituents are just collateral damage in their quest to own the lib's. They'll get over it.
MaeveReston If you would quit thinking you can work and negotiate with terrorists you'd stop being surprised when they do this shit. We have the white house the senate and the house... fuck their feelings and get shit done.
MaeveReston Why such a drastic opposition to Biden's unity and bipartisanship? Is bipartisanship just a sound byte but not genuine to the eyes of lawmakers in the House?
MaeveReston So, A COUP on the US Govt, meh! But 1.9 Trillion Dollars, OMG....... imagine what that will do to the existing 22 Trillion debt...
MaeveReston Gotta dig way deeper than this......all the way back to the women and men who have HISTORICALLY voted (R)......and present tense Look at this mess.
MaeveReston Чо вы гоните дебилы, это Эльман Пашаев
MaeveReston Oh no! Backlash!
MaeveReston DOGECOIN DOGE E-GOD Missing secret USA READ BACKWARDS Cryptho coin pegged to the dollar as Elon musk said
MaeveReston Republicans are idiots. They want to “win back” people they lost because they were idiots. They’ll say & do anything to get votes whether they mean it or not. I’m over it. Who cares about their feelings after the crap they put us through for 4 yrs. Push the bill through w/o them.
MaeveReston As long as Joe Manchin doesn't switch sides there's nothing Republican ass-clowns can do...
MaeveReston Birth of a republican
MaeveReston Congressional Republicans risk devastating backlash if they continue to support trump. Despite what Republicans currently think, trump will ultimately be the absolute downfall of the Republican Party.
MaeveReston As an honest joe Biden supporter, Joes covid plan is trash. This is coming a honest joe Biden supporter
MaeveReston Backlash is putting it lightly.
