, the White House reached out to moderate Republicans to secure bipartisan backing for a relief bill.without their support if Republican backing isn't forthcoming. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is laying the ground for the bill to pass under the budget reconciliation rule, which requires only a simple majority to pass the Senate, and could be enacted by Democrats alone.

"The dangers of undershooting our response are far greater than overshooting," Schumer told the Times. "We should have learned the lesson of 2008 and 2009, when Congress was too timid and constrained in its response to the financial crisis."in a 50-50 split, this approach would require the support Democratic moderates such as Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who has been critical of some of the measures in the bill.

Supporters of the larger bailout package, such as Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, say it's more important to get a comprehensive bill through quickly than it is to build bipartisan consensus.

The Republicans lost the House, Senate, and White House and therefore should go 🤬 themselves.
