This came after senators from both sides of the aisle voted to halt rising the minimum wage during the pandemic amid the 15 hour vote-a-rama ending Friday.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It&#8217;s not enough to just thank our essential workers \u2014 we need to pay them.

He is overseeing a political arena where both Democrat controlled chambers of Congress are gearing up to pass the bill by just a simple majority, even as Republicans in the upper chamber extended their hand across the aisle, hoping to reach a bipartisan compromise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst of all, the president ran on unifying the country and putting forward ideas that would help address the crises we\u2019re facing,\u201d Psaki stated. \u201cHe didn\u2019t run on a promise to unite the Democratic and Republican Party into one party in Washington.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, Biden and top Democrat lawmakers are expecting to hash out the final details of Biden\u2019s coronavirus package as early as Monday. They are eyeing a two week deadline to get a final vote on the bill.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/memorial-service-held-for-slain-fbi-agent-in-fla\/\">Memorial Service Held For Slain FBI Agent In Fla.<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE \u2013 In this Feb. 5, 2021 file photo, &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1892811,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[4435,3620,4087,4065,5652],"class_list":["post-120055","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-backtracks","tag-biden","tag-campaign","tag-issues","tag-several"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120055","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=120055"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120055\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1892811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=120055"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=120055"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=120055"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
