On Tuesday, President Biden urged Senate Democrats to stay united and quickly pass a coronavirus relief bill.

A left-leaning article by CBS News highlights that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has pushed back against Republican arguments that the bill is too expensive, saying that the package was necessary to get the economy back on track. The Senate is using the budget reconciliation process to pass the bill, allowing legislation to pass with a simple majority without Republican votes.
The Hill published a centrist article reporting that Biden’s message comes as the Senate could take up a sweeping $1.9 trillion coronavirus bill as soon as Wednesday. Republicans are expected to use an hours-long vote-a-rama this week to try to water down the coronavirus relief bill.
A right-leaning article by New York Post highlights that Senate Republican leaders called Biden’s stimulus bill “wasteful” and pointed specifically to a $140 million rail project near House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco district.
