On Friday, Whip Steve Scales urged Republicans in an email to vote “no” to what House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called the “Progressive Compensation Act.”
Scalise’s office wrote: “Democrats clearly have no interest in dealing with relief from COVID in a timely and purposeful manner, and instead are using the reconciliation process to confuse their liberal wish-list agenda.”
The Senate is divided 50-50 along party lines, with Vice President Kamala Harris voting.
