The Senate on Friday will begin a massive vote-a-rama on amendments to President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion COVID relief plan as Republicans look to delay a final vote on the legislation.
'There'll be a lengthy amendment process, as the rules of the Senate require. The Senate is going to take a lot of votes. But we are going to power through and finish this bill, however long it takes,' Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on the Senate floor Friday morning.
Republican senators are expected to offer multiple amendments to the bill, which Democrats claim is necessary to help the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic. The GOP protests the bill's cost and claim it's filled with progressive priorities.
