“Republicans are already claiming that Democrats are trying to take people’s guns and have no respect for the Second Amendment,” said the strategist.

Biden's unity effort falters

Republicans acknowledge that Biden has improved the tone of civility in Washington, but they complain that he and his party haven’t made much of an effort to work with them.
Democrats don’t appear interested in having a real bipartisan negotiation on a COVID-19 relief bill or an upcoming infrastructure and jobs package, the senators complain.

Democrats ready to bypass Republicans on COVID-19 relief bill

But it’s unclear whether the entire bill could survive arcane Senate rules that determine what does, and does not, qualify under reconciliation. The budget process allows for bypassing the 60-vote legislative filibuster but also places limits on what can be included.
The wage hike appears most at risk of being jettisoned both because of Senate reconciliation rules and because, while Democrats are generally supportive of increasing the minimum wage, $15 an hour does not yet have the support of all 50 Democratic senators.
