Therefore, this provision will remain in the American Rescue Plan on the floor tomorrow. Democrats in the House are determined to pursue every possible path in the Fight For 15,\u201d she added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Lawmakers are poised to vote on President Joe Biden\u2019s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief plan, dubbed the American Rescue Plan, in the Democrat-controlled House on Friday. But Elizabeth MacDonough, the Senate parliamentarian, threw a wrench in the Biden administration\u2019s proposal when she informed members of the Senate on Thursday that the $15 minimum wage hike did not square with the rules of the reconciliation process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Under the reconciliation process, the Senate can pass filibuster-proof legislation with only 51 votes, but the provisions of the legislation must be related to the budget and cannot have a merely incidental effect on it, among many other complicated rules.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki acknowledged the Senate parliamentarian\u2019s decision in a statement Thursday evening: \u201cPresident Biden is disappointed in this outcome, as he proposed having the $15 minimum wage as part of the American Rescue Plan. He respects the parliamentarian\u2019s decision and the Senate\u2019s process. He will work with leaders in Congress to determine the best path forward because no one in this country should work full time and live in poverty. He urges Congress to move quickly to pass the American Rescue Plan, which includes $1,400 rescue checks for most Americans, funding to get this virus under control, aid to get our schools reopened and desperately needed help for the people who have been hardest hit by this crisis.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Biden previously told Democratic mayors and governors that he didn\u2019t believe the $15 minimum wage hike would be able to pass under reconciliation rules, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/02\/18\/biden-governors-minimum-wage-469898\">POLITICO<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span>Should Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) be sent a bill from the House with the $15 minimum wage hike, he will have to figure out whether to scrap the provision, challenge the parliamentarian\u2019s ruling, or attempt to re-write the provision in a way that would align with rules for reconciliation, reports <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/us-policy\/2021\/02\/25\/minimum-wage-increase-imperiled-covid-relief-bill-by-senate-officials-ruling\/\">The Washington Post<\/a>.
