People need to realize Joe is in a republican state.
Yes, power play tactics are likely at play, but he needs to pander to his base to keep his job. That may not be the morally correct idea, given many of us here would argue a higher than $11/hr minimum wage would benefits his base, but it gives context.
I think I recall someone saying that Joe had a study citing that an increase beyond $11/hr would hurt jobs in his state?
