Klain: Biden's COVID Support Deal Is Hardly Dead In The Water (CBS)

US

White House chief of staff Ron Klain dismissed concerns that President Joe Biden's proposed $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill is dead in the water. Some Republicans have balked at the price tag as Democrats consider other ways to pass the legislation without Republican support.
"It's hardly dead in the water," Klain told "CBS Evening News" anchor and managing editor Norah O'Donnell on Thursday. "I think it's gaining a lot of momentum on Capitol Hill. I think you'll see action in the House on it, the first parts of it starting next — the first phases of the legislative process starting next week."
