President Joe Biden is backing away from the push to include a minimum wage hike in the CCP virus relief bill that Democrats are ramming through Congress, after key lawmakers signaled they no longer support it.

“Well, apparently, that’s not going to occur because of the rules of the United States Senate,” Biden said in an interview partially released Friday by CBS.
