Dems file joint resolution to fast-track pandemic
package
Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., submitted Monday a joint budget resolution that
includes instructions for drafting a $1.9 trillion pandemic relief package,
which is in line with President Joe Biden's proposal. The resolution, if passed
by both chambers, would permit Democrats to block a 60-vote Senate filibuster
and use the reconciliation process to quickly pass the president's COVID-19
relief proposal.
