Democrats can't include a $ 15-an-hour minimum wage in their $ 1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package.

Senate Lawmaker Elizabeth McDonough ruled that the provision did not comply with the rules governing budget reconciliation, a process that allows Democrats to pass a bailout package without GOP votes.

Democratic leaders see raising the unchanged federal minimum wage as a priority, but Republicans say a $ 15 minimum wage could make it harder for small businesses to operate in some parts of the country.
