Republicans block debate on 10B COVID bill over immigration amdt
Senate action stalled as Republicans refuse to advance the $10 billion COVID package without a vote on preserving Trump era immigration curbs. Democrats, led by Schumer, say the bill funds vaccines tests and treatments, while GOP leaders demand an immigration amendment before supporting it. The dispute comes as Biden faces polling and border challenges ahead of key elections.
