Democrats' unemployment insurance plan passes on party line vote
Democrats' unemployment insurance plan passes on party line vote
After a nearly 12 hour stall, the Democratic unemployment insurance agreement passed on a party line vote of 50-49.
The amendment, passed by Democrats in the early hours of Saturday morning, superseded an earlier Republican victory on unemployment insurance.
Democrats came to an agreement on unemployment benefits after initially hitting a snag early in the marathon voting session on the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief legislation. Democrat Joe Manchin had threatened to unravel an agreement on how to handle jobless benefits in the package, but after eight hours of discussions, he agreed to a new proposal.
The Senate is currently evenly split between Democrats and Republicans.
