Lawmakers agree on $900 billion COVID-19 relief deal
Congressional leaders said Sunday they ve reached a deal on a nearly $900 billion COVID-19 relief package that includes individual checks, loans to small businesses and benefits to the unemployed struggling with the fallout of the pandemic. Moments ago, the four leaders of the Senate and the House finalized an agreement. It will be another major rescue package for the American people, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., announced on the Senate floor. McConnell said the bill next had to be finalized as text, avoid any last-minute obstacles, and be passed through both the House and Senate before President Donald Trump could sign it into law. Lawmakers could pass the bill as soon as Sunday evening.
