Latest Breaking News On - Then senate majority - Page 1 : comparemela.com

USA TODAY WASHINGTON – After giving final approval to President Joe Biden s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill, the House of Representatives is looking ahead.  They are also looking to the Senate to pick up other legislation it has already passed, related to police reform, voting rights and labor issues. However, most of the legislation was passed largely along partisan lines and now faces a 50-50 divided Senate with the looming prospect of the filibuster. Without at least 10 Senate Republican votes joining all 50 Democrats, legislation will not make it to Biden’s desk.  Some Democrats are pushing the use of the legislative mechanism budget reconciliation that would bypass the filibuster and allow passage of a bill by a simple majority. But that process brings with it specific constraints, and some Senate Democrats are not keen to it.
