Sanders threatens to put hold on Senate relief bill over unemployment aid
Senator Bernie Sanders on Wednesday threatened to delay the $2tr coronavirus relief bill in Senate if four Republican senators did not drop their opposition to a provision of a $600 per week in the bill for unemployment insurance for up to four months. The four Republicans were insisting a vote to cap the aid as they thought the provision could encourage companies to lay off workers.

Senators Graham (R-S.C.), Sasse (R-Neb.) and Tim Scott (R-S.C.) think the coronavirus stimulus bill offers too much relief for people who will end up unemployed due to Covid-19. They want to reduce unemployment benefits in the bill. If they don’t stand down and let the bill pass as is, Bernie Sanders(I-Vt.) is willing to also hold the bill until stronger conditions are imposed on the $500 Billion corporate welfare fund. Bernie still fighting for the people <3. #StandDown #PassTheBillAsIs
