If the senate can hold it up, isn't the total lack of Democrat support the main issue?
The Democrat Conference is currently going into a meeting to discuss this new version. They still get $110 billion they wanted in disaster and farming aid. Here is the bill its "only" 116 pages lol

So Minority Leader Jefferies just made his power move and called the bill “laughable” if he ends up losing Members in the vote though its a bad bad look for him

What would be the incentive for Democrats to defect? It's not like any of them are facing reelection imminently. I doubt they'd want to cross party leadership now.

Optics! Fom what I've read what was pulled… was stuff Dems wanted that publically looked bad. For instance they kept all the aid Dems wanted and pulled out the Congressional Payraise well if they all toe the line they are going to get publically killed with that. Not to mention if a couple of Senate Dems come out in support then well the House Dems sunk it.

That makes sense. It seems like the Republicans usually lose the PR battle, though, regardless of what demands either side is making.
