Biden says he will lay out the framework for the next round of covid relief next week. “We need more direct relief flowing to families, small businesses,” he says.
In addition to calling for more crisis economic relief, Biden says that with Democratic majorities in both chambers of Congress, it should be possible to raise it to $15 an hour. “People in both parties recognize it’s time to raise the minimum wage,” he says.

NEW: Bruce Reed will be a deputy chief of staff in the Biden White House, transition says. A former Biden VP chief of staff, he spent much of the last two years staffing Biden on the campaign trail. Much of his recent policy work has focused on regulating big tech.
Some progressives have voiced concerns about Reed joining the administration, pointing to his long ties to the centrist Democratic Leadership Council and his record as a domestic policy adviser during the Clinton administration, including helping write the 1996 welfare law.
