Democrats Blocking Relief

Senate Democrats are utilizing the filibuster to block COVID relief packages, raising concerns about their willingness to uphold American institutions. Republicans fear that if Democrats gain a majority in the Senate and the presidency, they could potentially change the nature of American government by packing the courts, eliminating the filibuster, and adding states. The lack of political will to reach an agreement on federal aid leaves millions of jobless Americans and struggling small business owners in dire straits.
