1:11:02Now Playing(Feb. 8) Watch live as White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki holds a press briefing in the Brady Briefing Room of the White House on Monday, February 8, 2021, in Washington, D.C.
The first committee votes on elements of President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion Covid-19 relief package begin on Tuesday, House schedules showed. Biden’s proposed minimum-wage hike is likely to be trimmed back by lawmakers, according to analysis from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. highlighting the political challenges of the push.
The House Education and Labor Committee, with jurisdiction over school reopening funds, workplace safety standards and any minimum wage increase, tentatively set Tuesday for its vote. Biden said in a CBS interview Friday a wage increase “apparently” wouldn’t be part of the package due to Senate rules. Goldman analysts said a standalone bill phasing in an increase to $10 to $11 an hour is “more politically realistic” than Biden’s $15 proposal.
