26:19Now PlayingUS News: If you work full-time in America, should you be able to afford a decent living? Senator Chris Murphy says the answer is yes, and he, along with fellow Democrats, is pushing a bold new proposal to raise the federal minimum wage to $25 an hour. Declaring that 'It is not a luxury,' Murphy argued that a full-time job should provide a living wage, not poverty pay.
Joined by Senators Ron Wyden and Richard Blumenthal, Representatives Delia Ramirez and Analia Mahia, along with labor advocates and union leaders, Democrats unveiled the Living Wage for All Act, saying the current $7.25 federal minimum wage has failed working families. Speakers accused President Donald Trump of ignoring the affordability crisis while calling for higher wages, stronger worker protections, and an economy that puts working Americans first. Watch the full announcement, key speeches, and the heated political arguments surrounding one of the Democrats' most ambitious economic proposals yet.
