Shownotes Transcript

The House is set to vote tonight on the $1.9 trillion covid relief package, one that will still include a $15 federal minimum wage provision despite the Senate parliamentarian ruling against it. But the next steps for the bill are less clear. 

Plus, Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota tells John King “this majority wasn't given to us to sit on the sidelines” and wants Democrats to fight for the minimum wage hike. She also gives the White House an "A-" in its outreach to progressives.

And President Biden faces diplomatic challenges on multiple fronts.

On today's program: CNN's Phil Mattingly, Lauren Fox, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, plus contributors Susan Glasser and Van Jones. Also joining the show: Rep. Ilhan Omar.
