GOP blocked Dems push for 10.10 minimum wage in 2016
Senate Republicans stopped a Democratic drive to raise the federal minimum wage from 7.25 to 10.10 by 2026, arguing it would cost jobs and spur inflation. The vote left the measure six votes short of advancing, as Obama and Harkin pushed a plan tied to electoral politics and future labor gains.
