Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) speaks alongside a bipartisan group of Democrat and Republican members of Congress as they announce a proposal for a Covid-19 relief bill on Capitol Hill on December 14, 2020.
The next round of relief aid is still uncertain until today, but the bipartisan group of Senators, who proposed the $908 billion relief bill, is fully decided to introduce the bill in the House of Senate.
Both the House of Senate and Congress have one week or until Dec. 18 to vote for another round of relief bill before the year ends. If they cannot come up with an agreement before the deadline, that means that struggling Americans will have to wait for another session next year.
