All four of Iowa's Democratic Senate candidates said they would not support House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's latest coronavirus relief bill during a primary debate Tuesday.
Despite their differences, the primary candidates-who reflect both the business-friendly and far-left wings of the Democratic Party-agreed they would not vote for the bill if they served in the Senate today.
Progressive Rep. Pramila Jayapal also voted against the bill.
The New York senator issued a statement before the divided House vote that touted the HEROES Act and criticized Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for downplaying the need to "Act immediately" on a new coronavirus relief bill.
During the Iowa debate Tuesday, Mauro said the bill "Needs more work." Graham said it needs to "Provide much more help for truly small businesses." Greenfield said she "Certainly wouldn't support it" and would "Keep working" if she were in the Senate.
Pelosi's bill almost certainly will not pass the Senate in its current form.
Pelosi dragged her feet after that Senate vote, delaying an immediate vote in favor of a "Good debate on the floor," though she blamed the bill's delay entirely on Republicans.
