But the meeting will also include all seven moderate Democrats who voted against the $15 minimum wage hike: Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, Chris Coons of Delaware, Tom Carper of Delaware, Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, and Jon Tester of Montana.When the Senate parliamentarian including a minimum wage increase in the stimulus bill, Sanders — who co-sponsored a bill to raise the wage to $15 an hour by 2025 — promised he wouldn't give up on efforts to get the job done."But let me be very clear: If we fail in this legislation, I will be back," Sanders told reporters on March 1. "We're going to keep going and, if it takes 10 votes, we're going to raise that minimum wage very shortly."And in a with reporters on Friday, progressive lawmakers, including Rep.
