But ever since, Republicans from New York and Indiana to Texas and Washington state have promoted elements of legislation that would not exist if they had their way.

Applications for the program opened this week.
Democrats are promising to make the pandemic relief vote — and the apparent Republican hypocrisy — a central element in next year’s midterm elections.
