Since increasing the minimum wage ever again is permanently dead and everyone knows it, she can’t lie and say she’ll raise it. Democrats have no credibility on wage increases anymore.
Now I wonder which senator is going to rotate in to gleefully block this as cover for the rest of them.
Every year Ted Kennedy brought minimum wage increase to the Senate floor. It was always a fight he relished. Most times he would lose, but sometimes he’d win. At which point, the next year he brought it back to the floor again. But, Teddy is dead.
Biden, for his part, increased the minimum wage of government workers by executive order. A rising tide and all that. It worked somewhat.
Some states have minimum wage laws higher than the Feds, but they are being attacked by republican legislators.
Harris is using it as a keystone to her policy position. If she has the Congress,I’m sure she’ll do it.
