LETTER: Biden reaches out to GOP on COVID relief bill
President Joe Biden’s invitation for 10 Republican senators to the White House to negotiate yet another COVID-19 relief bill was all show. He has no intention of reducing the $1.9 trillion, which is the GOP position.
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Bernie Sanders have already paved the way for the $1.9 trillion. It’s called “reconciliation” an obscure procedural method to pass a bill in the Senate with a simple majority — 51 votes — and circumvent the required 60 votes for passage. Anyone who believes otherwise also believes the current Congress will pass term-limits and the president will sign it into law.
