WASHINGTON - In a blow to Democrats, the Senate parliamentarian ruled the chamber cannot include President Joe Biden’s proposed $15-an-hour minimum wage in a $1.9 trillion coronavirus bill the party aims to pass without Republican votes, lawmakers said on Thursday.
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement: “We are not going to give up the fight to raise the minimum wage to $15 to help millions of struggling American workers and their families.” But there are rules that limit what can be included using that process, and it is the job of Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough to determine what is allowed.
The Senate parliamentarian ruled👀Wayment🙋🏽♀️Hold up🖐🏾WHO⁉️In all my yrs I have never ever heard of this entity. You mean to tell me theres MORE hidden layers to this politics💩⁉️I dont ever recall learning about that title in any of my Jr High political science/civics classes👀💁🏽♀️
It is just an opinion from an unelected official. One that should be considered and then overruled.
With all due respect POTUS joebiden, use executive order for $15 minimum wage. getitdone. Now is the timepandemic Biden FightFor15 EndTheFilibuster
We can't continue to stall bills because it doesn't include everything we want. Its a give & take. $15 is ideal but if $10 gets it done, take the $10 MinimumWage. Fight to live another day.
I read both the parliamentarian role/procedures and the Byrd aka Klan rule and neither prevent this from moving forward. It is NOT extraneous. It would drastically increase tax revenue, reduce budget deficits and balance the budget. They are f$&king lying, again and again and...
Time to end the filibuster
Only in third world where min wage mounts to vicious cycle of poverty for generations to come!
Finally, the common good is preserved.
This is also a big blow to automation. Won't somebody think of the robots!!
What the fuck is a parliamentarian. Give people a goddamn living wage, we don’t care which rich asshole said no, just get it done
VP can overrule it but of course the Democrats wont
Override it.
no blow.stimulus bill will pass more easily
Ok, I don’t know how this system works but I thought having the majority control the House and Senate would make it possible to finally get things done for us normal people and not the rich! What did I miss

That seems awfully pissy to me. Who is this parliamentarian anyway?
It’s more of a blow to the workers (people), don’t you think? Secondarily, it’s a blow to Republicans. (Check the polls.). Democrats are gonna make hay with the issue.

'In a blow to democrats, democrats pass a wildly popular $1.9 trillion relief plan'
Joe and Kamala, both former Senators, didn't consult the parliamentarian before proposing the change? Nice.
Everyone blaming the Democrats but nothing about the Republicans who are blocking it. Why is that? MinimumWage
I'm sure Senate Democrats were hit the hardest, and not the mom working 2 jobs trying to feed her family.
