Scott Applewhite)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 4:45 PM PT \u2013 Tuesday, February 9, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Senate Democrats are insisting on pushing through a COVID relief bill, despite already having their sights set on impeaching President Trump. While Tuesday\u2019s trial was front and center, a Democrat-led House committee continued to draft legislation on Joe Biden\u2019s nearly $2 trillion measure.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) claimed the impeachment trial would not \u201cthrow a wrench\u201d into passing the stimulus package by mid-March.<\/p>\n<p>The measure has faced criticism from the right for being one-sided, despite Schumer\u2019s claims that he welcomes GOP support on the relief bill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are working when we can with our Republican colleagues. To produce a big, bold piece of legislation that will help us deal with and get out of this awful, awful crisis,\u201d Schumer stated. \u201cWe look forward to working with Republican colleagues to make this COVID package a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a tweet on Monday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) blasted the relief bill, saying a proposal to increase the federal minimum wage would put 1.4 million Americans out of a job.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Democrats&#8217; so-called relief bill includes Sen. Sanders\u2019s minimum wage proposal that would kill 1.4M American jobs. This after the President killed many thousands of jobs with Keystone XL.<\/p>\n<p>Killing jobs and destroying opportunity \u2014 that&#8217;s their idea of pandemic relief?<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Leader McConnell (@LeaderMcConnell) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeaderMcConnell\/status\/1358903701000323073?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 8, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>McConnell said killing jobs and destroying opportunity is the Biden administration\u2019s idea of pandemic relief.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/trump-defense-attorney-argues-in-support-of-free-political-speech\/\">Trump Defense Attorney Argues In Support Of Free Political Speech<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer spoke to reporters at &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1893041,"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":[4127,3685,4422,3688,4411,4807],"class_list":["post-122677","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-covid","tag-democrats","tag-partisan","tag-push","tag-schumer","tag-through"],"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\/122677","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=122677"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122677\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1893041"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=122677"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=122677"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=122677"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
