Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday urged Democrats to vote in Georgia, telling them if they turn out in Georgia they can push through liberal objectives such as a $15 minimum wage and expanded health care. “If we win these races in Georgia, we’ll be able to get people Covid relief without the funny business,” Ocasio-Cortez said on Instagram Live. ... Last year, the House passed a minimum wage of $15, more than double the current rate of $7.25, but it never made it through the Senate. President-elect Joe Biden has proposed increasing the minimum wage up to $15 by 2026.
