Centrist Democrats pose major problem for progressives Alexander Bolton © Greg Nash Centrist Democrats pose major problem for progressives The new strength of Democratic moderates in the Senate may temper just how aggressively Democratic leaders can push for President Biden s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package and other priorities, including climate change legislation. The addition of two new Democratic moderates to the Senate - newly elected Sens. John Hickenlooper (Colo.) and Mark Kelly (Ariz.) - combined with enhanced profiles for Sens. Joe Manchin (W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.), has strengthened the centrist wing of the caucus. The growing influence of party moderates has put one of Biden s priorities, a proposed increase in the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, in serious trouble, and complicates other plans on immigration and climate change.

President Biden’s push for $15-an-hour minimum wage faces strong headwinds in Senate Jeff Stein © Evan Vucci/AP FILE - In this Jan. 25, 2021, file photo, President Joe Biden answers questions from reporters in the South Court Auditorium on the White House complex, in Washington. Biden is unlikely to confront China on trade right away because he wants to focus on the coronavirus and the economy, but he does look set to renew pressure over trade and technology grievances that prompted President Donald Trump to hike tariffs on Chinese imports in 2017. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci, File) President Biden’s push to increase the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour faces significant hurdles in Congress because of strong opposition from Republicans, skepticism from some centrist Democrats, as well as obscure Senate procedures.

But their nominees flopped, with Maine s Sara Gideon proving no match for veteran GOP Sen. Susan Collins and the candidacy of North Carolina Democratic nominee Cal Cunningham s imploding in a sex scandal.
