Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) said Democrats aren\u2019t trying to find common ground on a COVID relief bill. Toomey expressed frustration with the process at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.banking.senate.gov\/newsroom\/minority\/toomey-democrats-using-covid-spending-bill-to-push-policy-wish-list\">Senate Banking Committee hearing<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>He noted less than a month ago, Joe Biden issued a call for unity when he started his presidency.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide, but to unify.<\/p>\n<p>Who doesn\u2019t see red and blue states, but a United States.<\/p>\n<p>And who will work with all my heart to win the confidence of the whole people.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeBiden\/status\/1330881290753757184?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 23, 2020<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The retiring senator said it\u2019s disappointing Biden isn\u2019t following through on his promise for a strategy based on truth, not politics. Toomey believes Biden and the Democrats are focused on forcing what he calls a left-wing policy wish list, completely unrelated to the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not informed by any objective measure of needs. The only organizing principle seems to be to spend a lot of money and willfully ignore the impacts of these policies,\u201d Toomey stated. \u201cCOVID has been an extraordinary crisis, and Congress responded in an extraordinary way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Toomey noted Congress passed a relief bill less than two months ago and said the economy has been in recovery mode. He added 18 states have unemployment rates below five percent and GDP growth in the last two quarters has been extraordinary.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/?p=2375433\">Explosion In NYC Housing Complex Leaves At Least 10 Injured<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2181242,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/GettyImages-1752190-566x437.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Sen.
