She told The Post that Reed appeared drunk during the fishing event and slipped and fell on the ice. Later, while sitting next to him at dinner, she told The Post, Reed's hands started wandering. The Post reported that Davis said she was frozen in fear, but asked a person sitting on her right to help.

“With the economic divide, I mean, I want to see a $15 minimum wage. Leading the charge is Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who unveiled $15 wage legislation this week with the backing of 37 Senate Democrats. The latest sign that a $15 minimum wage is popular with voters came in November, when more than 60% of voters in conservative-leaning Florida approved an amendment to the state’s Constitution that will raise the minimum wage there from $8.56 an hour to $15 an hour by 2026. “The real way to appreciate this work is to raise the minimum wage to $15,” she said. Currently, 29 states and Washington, D.C., have minimum wages above the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour.

House "Problem Solvers Caucus" leaders on COVID relief deal President Trump is so far refusing to sign the latest round of coronavirus aid passed by Congress, as he demands direct payments to Americans be increased from $600 to $2,000. New Jersey Democratic Congressman Josh Gottheimer and New York Republican Congressman Tom Reed, co-chairs of the bipartisan "Problem Solvers Caucus," spoke to CBSN's Tom Hanson about what is being done as key eviction protection and unemployment benefit deadlines approach.

GOP Rep. Tom Reed told CNBC on Thursday that President Donald Trump's last-minute opposition to the coronavirus relief package approved by Congress earlier this week is hurting struggling Americans. The $900 billion bill, paired alongside a government-funding measure, was passed with veto-proof majorities in both the House and Senate. The $900 billion package would extend a pandemic-era expansion of jobless benefits before they expire Saturday. Trump's criticism of the bill has focused, in part, on foreign aid spending that was included in the larger government funding section. "The people who we negotiated this $900 billion for are waiting for this relief," Reed said.

The massive, catchall bill combines $900 billion in COVID-19 aid with a $1.4 trillion spending bill. A 1994 bill blocked prisoners from the program, but momentum has been growing to reverse the decision. For Republicans, the bill secures a longtime goal to simplify the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, the form that students fill out to determine their eligibility for federal financial aid. It would provide $23 billion to colleges and universities, the first federal virus aid since a virus package Congress approved in March. For K-12 schools, the bill provides $54.3 billion, with an additional $4.1 billion that governors can use on education.

It's not a perfect bill, but it is a compromise bill that can bring people together," Rep. Tom Reed, R-N.Y., said on "Squawk Box." The Problem Solvers Caucus this week unveiled a $908 billion coronavirus stimulus plan with a bipartisan group of senators, including Sens. In rejecting the bipartisan proposal Tuesday, he said, "We just don't have time to waste time." They're now at $900 billion supporting this bipartisan, bicameral package that we put together," he said. It's not a perfect bill, but it is a compromise bill that can bring people together."

You look at individuals who have lost their jobs," added Reed, who co-chairs the Problem Solvers Caucus along with Democratic Rep. Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey. The bipartisan group released a roughly $1.5 trillion relief proposal in mid-September that was rejected by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who favors a larger stimulus package. It has been about two months since many of the key provisions of earlier coronavirus relief deals lapsed, although President Donald Trump took some executive actions in August aimed at offering some assistance, particularly for those who are receiving unemployment benefits. The president signed a bill to keep the government funded through Dec. 11 on Thursday. "We don't know what's going to happen, and don't bank on the fact that after the election you're going to be able to get relief to the American people, because I don't see it."
