'What would they have me cut?': Biden urges Republicans to back Covid relief bill
WASHINGTON President Joe Biden called on Republican lawmakers Friday to support his nearly $2 trillion Covid-19 relief plan, dismissing the argument from some critics that the proposal is too expensive.
Biden and congressional Democrats, however, appear prepared to move forward without Republican support and push the sprawling relief package through Congress in the coming weeks.
"Critics say that my plan is to big, that it costs $1.9 trillion," Biden said in a speech at Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine manufacturing facility near Kalamazoo, Michigan.
"Let me ask them: What would they have me cut? What would they have me leave out? Should we not invest $20 billion to vaccinate the nation? Should we not invest $290 million to extend unemployment insurance for the 11 million Americans who are unemployed so they can get by?"
