It's today explained. I'm Sean Rommas for him. Two-thirds of Americans support raising

the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 an hour. But you would never know it from the

looks of Congress right now. Republicans are fighting the fight for 15 and even the Democrats

aren't fully on board. Emily Stewart, you cover politics of Fox. How did this become

the biggest fight in DC? I thought they were trying to crank out stimulus.

Well, this is part of the stimulus bill or at least Joe Biden and a lot of Democrats

want this to be part of the stimulus bill. We will not rest until we pass the $15 minimum

wage. Bernie Sanders really helped put it on to the national stage. And a lot of cities

and states have passed it if you think back to November. A $15 minimum wage passed by

ballot measure in Florida. So a lot of places have a $15 minimum wage or at some point

will because most of these bills are kind of phasans. But this is a long time priority

for Democrats. We have been engaged in the fight for 15 for a long time.

And it seems like they got us to swing here with the stimulus package and the thought

was let's put it in here. And so far that hasn't gone very smoothly. What's the latest

on this fight for 15 in Congress? So a $15 federal minimum wage isn't dead, but it's

kind of a zombie. So it is still in the stimulus package that the House just passed.
