GOP not worried about voting against popular relief bill

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Republicans are dismissing the idea that they'll be punished at the ballot box for voting against President Biden's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package.

The relief measure is expected to get few, if any, GOP votes as it moves through Congress in the coming weeks. Democrats are trying to pressure Republicans into voting for the package, touting polls that show it's popular with the public.

Republicans counter that much of the bill is focused on Democrats' longstanding priorities rather than coronavirus relief. And strategists note that it's unclear whether voters will be thinking about the relief package closer to the midterm elections, which are more than a year and a half away.

"I don't see any risk to Republicans at all opposing this, especially as it relates to the 2022 election," said Ford O'Connell, a Republican strategist and former congressional candidate in Florida.

1. They'll Still Reap The Benefits

Their constituents will give them credit for the results, even though they voted against it.

There are plenty of Stupid Americans out there.

2. And they will be right if

the Dems fail to point to every single QOP member that has opposed helping Americans in their time of need.
