Senate Democrats consider changes to House virus relief bill

Senate Democrats are considering reshaping parts of the $1.9 trillion Covid-19 relief bill passed by the House, as party leaders hoping to salvage a minimum wage increase have abandoned one proposal aimed at pressuring big companies to boost workers' pay. The chances seemed slim that Senate Democrats would find a way to include a minimum wage boost in the massive relief package, days after the nonpartisan parliamentarian said it violated the chamber's rules and had to fall from the bill.
