The Battle Over Democratsâ COVID-19 Relief Bill Is Just Beginning
The White House is ready for the fight, drawing lessons from Republicansâ successful campaign against the 2009 stimulus.
Democrats had just passed a law spending unprecedented amounts of government money to help Americans going through an equally unprecedented crisis. Republicans almostly unanimously opposed the legislation, but opinion surveys showed a strong majority of the public had favorable views of the plan.
The year was 2009, and things did not end well for the Democratic Party. The stimulus legislation grew steadily less popular over time as job growth sputtered. The midterm election a year later would wipe out their massive House majority, and usher in a wave of austerity that further hampered the countryâs economic comeback.
