Are Republicans Taking a Risk Opposing Relief Package?

Aaron Blake: “The tax cut package they pushed through in 2018, for instance, polled among the most unpopular bills passed — if not the most unpopular — in decades. Their 2017 push to replace Obamacare was even more historically unpopular, with support falling as low as in the teens in some polls (before John McCain killed it with his thumbs-down).”

“And it would seem to be happening again, with Republican leaders pushing for their party to unite against President Biden’s hugely popular coronavirus stimulus bill. Some are characterizing this as a huge risk.”

“The reality is more complex.”
