Democrats on Monday started the process to clear the way for them to pass much of Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus plan without Republican support, as the president meets with Republican senators about their counter-proposal.
Democrats introduced a fiscal 2021 budget resolution that they could use in a fast-track process to carry part of Biden’s plan through the Senate with just a simple majority, rather than the 60 votes needed for most legislation. However, that would still require all 50 Senate Democrats-- with Vice President Kamala Harris‘s tie-breaking vote -- to support Biden’s stimulus proposal.
