Twenty-one Senate Democrats urged the White House to place recurring stimulus payments and an extension in federal unemployment aid in its next infrastructure plan.

In a letter, the Democrat lawmakers—led by Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D-Ore.)—wrote that the “crisis is far from over” and said that Americans “should not be at the mercy of constantly-shifting legislative timelines and ad hoc solutions.”
