There are some people, mainly Democrats, who think that the federal minimum wage should be raised to $15 an hour. In order for that to happen, it would take an act of Congress, passed in the form of regular legislation and signed by the president. In the current Congress (that is, the Congress of the past two years), if such a bill were proposed and if every Democrat in both chambers favored it while all of the Republicans were against it, and if President Biden favored the bill, would this bill be likely to pass? Explain why or why not.
