President Joe Biden wants to raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 per hour to $15 per hour. Biden is attempting to get the measure passed as part of a broader stimulus package that could be voted on by the House soon.

“I’ve said this all along, it’s people over politicians, not the other way around,” Greene tweeted late Monday night, just hours after her Twitter account was reinstated after it was suspended for violating the social media giant’s policies. “It’s the people of this country that matter. That’s why I’m asking everyone to join me as a Citizen Cosponsor to #ImpeachBiden.”

With jubilation in some quarters, rage in others, the electorate is split, 49-50, on whether they are “confident that Biden will make the right decisions for the country’s future,”
