Senator Cornyn Cautions Democrats Against Passing COVID Relief Under Budget Reconciliation

Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn speaks on the Senate floor about COVID relief and the need to preserve the so-called Byrd Rule that limits what can be considered under the process of Budget Reconciliation. "This is a dangerous and unnecessary road to go down and our Democratic colleagues have a duty as members of this body to respect its rules and respect the Senate as an institution. The Senate should not replace the Byrd Rule with Harry's Rule," he says. close
