Bernie Sanders turns up heat on Biden after minimum wage setback Print this article
Left-wing Democrats plan to turn up the heat on President Biden to pass a minimum wage hike despite it being ejected from his $1.9 trillion spending bill.
The Senate parliamentarian ruled late Thursday that the hike, to $15 per hour from $7.25, must be removed from the legislation under budget rules.
But socialist Sen. Bernie and his faction in Congress have fresh moves ready to go. One would raise taxes on business that failed to get into line.
Democratic political commentator Christopher Hahn said the minimum wage fight is far from over because it is widely popular with the public.
