And with<\/span> <span>t<\/span><span>he Senate split 50-50, Democrats would need to unite to pass the relief bill through that process, as it can allow certain legislation to pass without the threat of Republican filibuster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In responding to the parliamentarian\u2019s decision, Sanders called the rules of the Senate \u201carchaic and undemocratic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI strongly disagree with tonight\u2019s decision by the Senate Parliamentarian. The CBO made it absolutely clear that raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour had a substantial budgetary impact and should be allowed under reconciliation. It is hard for me to understand how drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge was considered to be consistent with the Byrd Rule, while increasing the minimum wage is not\u201d said Sanders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c60 percent of the American people want to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. The House of Representatives has voted to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. The President of the United States wants to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. I\u2019m confident that we have a majority in the United States Senate including the Vice President that would vote to increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour as part of President Biden\u2019s American Rescue Plan. Yet because of the archaic and undemocratic rules of the Senate we are unable to move forward to end starvation wages in this country and raise the income of 32 million struggling Americans. That fight continues,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said President Joe Biden acknowledged the parliamentarian\u2019s decision and said the president respected it.<\/p>\n<p>\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 said Psaki.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/pelosi-vows-to-include-15-minimum-wage-hike-in-relief-bill-despite-senate-rule-making-it-ineligible\">Pelosi Vows To Include $15 Minimum Wage Hike In Relief Bill Despite Senate Rule Making It\u00a0Ineligible<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/romney-cotton-to-propose-10-minimum-wage-with-mandatory-e-verify\">Romney, Cotton To Propose $10 Minimum Wage With Mandatory\u00a0E-Verify<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
