Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats argue the $15 per hour minimum wage bill will lift workers who have not seen the benefits of a strong economy.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi answers questions during a press conference at the U.S. Capitol on July 17, 2019 in Washington, DC.The House passed a bill Thursday to hike the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour in a win for liberal activists who have long pushed to give low-wage workers a raise.
House Democrats view the legislation as a core piece of their agenda to boost pay and economic growth. As President Donald Trump runs for reelection in 2020, the party argues strong economic growth and a roaring stock market have not done enough to lift the workers who most need relief. The Trump administration argued its policies are "driving economic growth and increasing workers' take-home pay far more effectively and efficiently" than the Democratic plan. The White House argued it would "eliminate jobs and reduce total wages for American workers."estimated the bill would give 17 million U.S. workers a raise
