Democratic leaders face 60-vote Senate hurdle, with Republicans wary of additional deficit spending

Jan. 13 - President-elect Joe Biden has settled on a two-step strategy for moving his policy agenda through Congress this year, beginning with a COVID-19 rescue package he'll unveil Thursday night and continuing later this year with what's likely to be a more partisan economic recovery measure.
