Debbie Stabenow Doesn't Know How GOP Senators' Vote Against Stimulus Bill Is a Winning Message On 3/6/21 at 3:53 PM EST Following Saturday's Senate vote to pass President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion COVID relief package, Democratic Michigan Senator Debbie Stabenow criticized her Republican colleagues who voted against the package—given its bipartisan popularity and the ways it helps so many Americans. In an interview with MSNBC, Stabenow was asked whether she was disappointed that the votes fell on party lines and no Republicans broke from their party to join their colleagues across the aisle and back the stimulus bill. The Michigan Democrat noted the bill's popularity across the country, regardless of political affiliation.
