Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on Friday said Senate Republicans were so damn stupid for not passing House Democrats $3 trillion coronavirus relief bill.
The Republican Senate need to do its job and pass the HEROES Act," Biden said on a call with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME).
"It passed through the House. Get state and local governments the funding they need to keep millions of people on the job. Because, heres the theyre so damn stupid, darn stupid. If you dont have people on the job dealing with controlling the virus, then its just going to get worse, Biden said.
The House-passed bill secures $915 billion for state and local governments. The bill is a top priority for AFSCME, which represents public-sector workers, President Lee Saunders said on the call. The organization endorsed Biden in March.
We gotta stop playing the political game with the HEROES Act, Biden said.
