As Biden moves to pass his $1.9 trillion Covid relief plan using a simple Senate majority, Republicans say he risks poisoning the well for future reform.

Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., told the press on Tuesday the Senate is “on track” to have the next COVID relief bill for President Joe Biden to sign by March 14th. Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-K.Y., also addressed the media on Monday and said Republican senators were lobbying for a less expensive relief package to be passed.

The appearance would be Trump’s first extended, public, on-camera remarks since leaving office last month.

Not even a month after leaving office, former President Donald Trump is escalating a political war within his own party that could undermine the GOP’s ability to fight President Joe Biden’s agenda and ultimately return to power

Trump’s attack comes as the Senate GOP leader has publicly accused the former president of bearing responsibility for the deadly Capitol riot.

The rift over Trump comes as the GOP hopes to win back the House and Senate in the 2022 midterm elections.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Congress will establish an independent, Sept. 11-style commission to look into the deadly insurrection that took place at the U.S. Capitol.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell delivered a scalding denunciation of Donald Trump in a speech Saturday from the Senate floor, calling the former president “morally responsible” for the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol

The Senate on Saturday acquitted former President Donald Trump in a 57-43 vote on the charge of inciting insurrection for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Trump “is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day,” McConnell said just after the Senate acquitted the former president.

Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., drew a direct line between former President Donald Trump’s actions and the Capitol Riot, but he said the now-private citizen was ineligible for conviction. “[Trump] was practically and morally responsible for provoking events of the day,” McConnell said. “This [impeachment] question is moot because former President Trump is constitutionally not eligible for conviction.”

Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell says despite being found not guilty in his impeachment trial, “President Trump was still liable for everything he did while he was in office as an ordinary citizen.”

The Senate appears just as likely to acquit Trump as it did before the trial began.

Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal on Friday. The legislation was brought forward by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and passed by unanimous vote.

Democrats are determined to convict Trump in the wake of the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol, but experts see acquittal as the likely outcome of the trial.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., spoke about Donald Trump’s upcoming impeachment trial, set to start Tuesday in the Senate.

The U.S. House will vote Thursday on removing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., from her committee assignments over a string of false and inflammatory statements the freshman lawmaker has made.

The PRO Act aims to boost workers’ bargaining rights during the pandemic but is unlikely to get through the Senate.

The resolution ousting Greene from the budget and education panels passed in the House Rules Committee on Wednesday afternoon.

The agreement, awaiting approval in a Senate vote, means Democrats can take control of the committees and set up other operations that have stalled during the standoff.
