Senate GOP Divided Again Over Relief Bill

“A fight over Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’s plan to subsidize private school tuition is threatening to derail a Senate GOP effort to write a slimmed-down coronavirus relief bill, people involved in the talks said this week,” the Washington Post reports.

“The $5 billion tax credit proposal has long been championed by DeVos, and President Trump has offered his support for school choice as part of his reelection campaign. Now the measure is being pushed behind the scenes by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) who wants the proposal included in an emerging Senate GOP bill that aims to address economic fallout from the coronavirus.”
