Senate Democrats face a gauntlet of Republican attempts to rein in President Joe Bidenâs $1.9 trillion stimulus package in a marathon session of votes that will extend the timetable for passage into the weekend.
Democratic leaders plan to rough it through the amendment process and emerge with a bill that gets the votes of all 50 Democrats without risking a revolt from progressives in the House, which will have to agree on the Senate version before it goes to Biden for his signature.
The president has already agreed to revisions to keep moderate Senate Democrats on board, including narrowing the eligibility for direct payments to millions of Americans. Incentives have also been added, including more money for rural hospitals, health insurance subsidies for the unemployed and broadband.
