It'll never pass. More theater for the Democrats to pretend to care if only the mean old Republicans didn't have a majority. Of course, it'll be conveniently forgotten if the Democrats ever do have a majority again.

Is that minimum wage for federal employees? Because the Federal government doesn’t get to set minimum wage for private companies at the state level.

Federal minimum wage and the supremacy clause... If they were on our side.

That's going to fly well.
Oh boy, I want to see what happens if it passes and every state will have that minimum wage...
