From nbc news World Headquarters in new york, im Joshua Johnson, welcome to the week. President bidens Covid Package is one big step closer to becoming law, but whats after that . How will democrats govern from here with republican support uncertain at best . It could depend on this senator, democrat joe manchin of west virginia.

That would take every democratic senator and ten republicans voting to stop it, and that has a number of democrats calling for an end to the filibuster. The more you learn about t
Without congressman john lewis. Following a year of devastation from the pandemic, the house takes it up on tuesday, but Senate Democrats passed the American Rescue plan on their own. Not a shred of republican support in the senate chamber.

Joining me to help answer some of those questions, democrat pennsylvania senator bob casey. Senator, good to see you. Your overall reaction to the Landmark Bill you and your fellow senators passed yesterday . Well, it was a great day because the American People were the winners, and especially families that have been struggling, especially middle class and low income families that almost never, almost never get attention from washington. You know the data that has been cited by Columbia University of holding up the piece of paper all day, w

These involving stories. Reporter good afternoon, mike. Two former male aides to the above are telling the post that he used to use expletives to berate them on top of two new female aides who are speaking out about what it was like when they worked for the governor. Now, one of these womens name is karen hipton, and she says two hinton, and she says two times the governor called her back to his dimlylit hotel room trying to hold on to her longer.
