Biden wants to negotiate with GOP but outside 'forces' holding him back: Sen. Capito
Fox News
Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W. Va., said the Democratic coronavirus stimulus bill was a "non-starter" on Friday, calling it "bloated" and a wasted opportunity to work across the aisle.
"There still is a lot of help to be done and certainly on the health side and on the unemployment side. We were willing and ready to go there. But when we have all these other things in there to the tune of a trillion dollars, that's a non-starter for me." House Democrats passed their own version of Biden's $1.9 trillion stimulus, but Senate Democrats already axed the $15 minimum wage passed in their own proposed version of the enormous legislation. Republicans have criticized other items in the legislation as wasteful, such as paying federal employees whose children aren't in school full-time and billions for schools that haven't spent money already allocated to them.More Related News
