Republicans are starting to realize the danger in their votes to block President Biden's overwhelmingly popular plan to deliver shots in arms, money in pockets, kids in schools, and people back in jobs.
A bipartisan majority of Americans – including nearly half of Republicans and 69 percent of independents – support the American Rescue Plan. Meanwhile, Congressional Republicans have struggled to justify their opposition to the relief package and, instead, are trying to distract the public with a "relentless focus on the culture wars du jour."

People across the country love the American Rescue Plan – and Minority Leader McCarthy's home district is no exception.
That may be why McCarthy is desperately trying to distract Americans from the fact that every single House Republican voted to block a relief bill that delivers vaccines in arms, money in pockets, children back in school safely and people back in jobs.
Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued this statement on the retirement of Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick of Arizona:
