Hey there,
Biden's plan to increase the federal minimum wage to $15/hour by 2025 is receiving such resistance in Congress that it might not make it into the next stimulus package.
But Bernie Sanders has a plan.
Sanders told CNN's Jake Tapper that the Senate Budget Committee has "a room full of lawyers working as hard as we can" on passing the legislation through budget reconciliation.
A recent study by the Congressional Budget Office has found that the minimum wage increase would bring 900,000 Americans above the poverty line -- but those in opposition to the increase cite fears of economic ripple effects.
As Sanders and his committee fight to raise the minimum wage, we're checking in with our supporters to see where you stand.
