President Joe Biden said Friday his proposal to increase the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour is unlikely to make it into the final $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package after negotiations with Congress.
Biden, who advocated for a minimum wage increase before the pandemic began, has pitched the idea as an effective way to help working-class Americans cope with the economic consequences of the crisis.  
"No one should work 40 hours a week and live below the poverty wage. And if you’re making less than $15 an hour, you’re living below the poverty wage," the president told CBS Evening News host Norah O’Donnell Friday. But he conceded that his plan to hike the federal minimum rate did not look likely to be a part of the new relief legislation. 
"I put it in, but I don't think it's going to survive," he said. 
Many Republicans opposed Biden’s attempt to raise the federal minimum wage and some Democrats also had concerns.
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., told reporters Tuesday he doesn’t support increasing the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. However, Manchin, a moderate Democrat, said he supports a smaller increase.
"I’m supportive of an increase that’s responsible and reasonable," Manchin said, "and in my state that’s $11." Manchin added that the increased rate should account for inflation.
Republican Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa said she was concerned about raising the minimum wage during the pandemic.
"A $15 federal minimum wage would be devastating for our hardest-hit small businesses at a time when they can least afford it," Ernst said.
Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., echoed Ernst, tweeting Saturday that "Raising the minimum wage amid a pandemic is a tone-deaf idea authored by Washington elites." 
Scott co-sponsored Ernst's amendment Thursday night to prevent a federal minimum wage increase to $15 an hour during the pandemic.  
Despite the roadblocks Biden’s push to hike the wage has faced so far, he does have the support of progressive Democrats, including Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who indicated he had not given up on the possibility of including the wage increase in the relief package.
