9:04The Senate minority leader explains the deal reached by Senate leaders and the White House to save the national economy from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
"It's a historic day because it matches a historic crisis. And our people need help," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said."People came together to help the American people. And that's a great sign. It shows you that the Senate can function when the need is so real and so pressing." "In order to protect the safety of Members and staff and prevent further spread of COVID-19 through Members’ travel, the Republican Leader and I expect that the House vote on final passage will be done by voice vote," House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., announced Wednesday night."Members who want to come to the House Floor to debate this bill will be able to do so.
"Reading Chuck Schumer's list, we half expected that the next thing I read would be the minority leader taking credit for inventing fire," a senior Senate GOP aide said."The reality is that almost every significant"win" he's taking credit for, is actually a Senate Republican idea." Wednesday afternoon, a quartet of Senate Republicans objected to a provision in the massive unemployment insurance expansion in the package that they say could mean that some Americans could be paid more to be out of work than they were earning before they were laid off or furloughed because of the pandemic.
The provision, which aides said was not a drafting error, was negotiated by the Trump Administration, Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and senior Democrats, including Schumer and Ron Wyden, the ranking Democrat on the Finance Committee. Scalise's whip team convened a conference call Tuesday where a source expressed optimism that all lawmakers won't need to return for a vote -- and that they won't have to change the rules to achieve that.

Well use all that millions of dollars added on to the bill now that would help. Democrats are so self centered and taking citizens hostage. Fire them. Rise up people and demand they be fired. Quit allowing it
Hey Gov. Cuomo: Who paid $750M for a solar factory? Maybe you should have spent that money on building up New York's supply of masks, gowns and ventilators. Basically you flushed $750M down the drain.
Perhaps the Kennedy Center will donate the funds marked for them.
Local government needs!? They get everything they need already!
Well, let's get the first batch out to the people. Then work on the 2nd batch of dollars. If we wait for the Congress to get enough out for this first time, disaster may ensue.
Fun to hear how he talks to Nancy?
If I remember correctly there are 50 states and all have their needs not just NY.
The Federal government is experiencing the same short fall of income as NYS. Don't be ungrateful just say thank you for the 5 billion. There are 49 other states plus DC NYGovCuomo

It's completely Trump's fault.
HE OBVIOUSLY ISN'T WORRIED, ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE & SMALL RESTAURANT & BUSINESSES! THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION DOES!
Getting the private sector was smart, yes, but they only care about one thing - their ROI.
He runs the city into the ground and expects the us to bail him out...
