Ilhan Omar knocks Biden, Senate Dems on COVID relief: We're 'sending money to less people' than Trump
Fox News
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., expressed her dismay with the lack of progress she believes has been made with the newest round of COVID relief being led by President Biden and Senate Democrats.
When asked if she thought this was Biden "abandoning progressives" like herself, Omar responded by calling the vote a "very disappointing development." "We obviously are now ultimately sending money to less people than the Trump administration," Omar said. "You know, the Senate Majority Republicans were willing to. There are going to be 17 million people who will get less money. This is not the promise that we made. This is not what we are given the opportunity to be in the majority in the Senate and have the White House. So ultimately, it is a failure when we compromise ourselves out of delivering on behalf of the American people and in keeping our promises."More Related News
