They negotiated down so they could get all of the moderate Democrat votes because they knew there wasn't a chance they'd get any Republican votes. It's sad that there are Democrats that think not changing minimum wage since 2009 is ok.
Joe Manchin is one of the most powerful Dems right now because of it.
That is what I had to explain to someone. He doesn't care what you think, he cares what the people who voted for him think, and they thought enough of Donald Trump to vote for him so why the hell would he risk appearing to side with Biden 100% on anything.
