FTA:

Shortly before the final vote, Democrats flexed their muscles by reversing three earlier votes that Republicans had won. Those would have used the coronavirus aid battle to back a Canada-to-United States oil pipeline, support hydraulic fracking for oil and gas, and bar coronavirus aid to immigrants living in the United States illegally.

There is no way for them to overturn the amendment in the Senate, as 8 democrats voted for it. Both the Senate and the House have only passed the resolutions, they now have to pass the detailed budget items. It's a very complex process with a lot of limitations.

Democrats will by no means have a good shot at including junk like $15 minimum wage since Joe Manchin and other dems have said they would not vote for that. A lot of midwest dems are already getting an earful due to Keystone pipeline and all the other garbage, expect folks like Tester, Manchin, Sinema, and others to put a big halt to the loony left putting M4A and other crap in there.

I wonder what all the African Americans who helped the Democrats steal the votes for Biden in Michigan, Georgia and Pennsylvania are thinking.
