Agree 100% with this and the comment on the vaccination tweets. On this, my answer is yes, they should do it anyway if they can. Problem is they don't have the votes to just do it anyway, which ends up throwing it back on 'should there be a negotiation about what lesser package they can pass, or should they vote for what they want and have both parties go on the record with their support/opposition'?
This close after an election, I don't think it matters much. If they don't get some Republican support, nothing will happen because of the moderates.
