At last we have a deal, announces Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell; congressional correspondent Chad Pergram reports.The White House and Senate leaders reached a breakthrough deal shortly after midnight Wednesday on a massive and historic $2 trillion coronavirus relief package for workers and businesses, capping days of heated negotiations that had nearly been derailed by last-minute demands from House Democrats.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said the bill amounts to “unemployment compensation on steroids," and that every American who is laid off will have their missed salary remunerated. That provision will enable companies to stay afloat and immediately bring back those employees when things are safe, Schumer said.
In a letter to his colleagues, Schumer remarked, “Democrats are ready to give our unanimous consent to speed up the consideration of the bill and get the job done.“ That means that if there are no objections from Republicans, the Senate could clear the bill without a formal roll call vote. Parliamentarily, that is the fastest way to move something on the floor.Fox News contributor and Townhall.
“After days of intense discussions, the Senate has reached a bipartisan agreement on a historic relief package for this pandemic,” he continued. “It will rush new resources onto the front lines of our nation's health care fight. And it will inject trillions of dollars of cash into the economy as fast as possible to help Americans workers, families, small businesses and industries make it through this disruption and emerge on the other side ready to soar.
I'll say it again: if you voted for Pelosi, you owe the nation an apology! RecallPelosi

Well maybe if the Republicans didn't include a corporate slush fund in the stimulus package it would have passed, which is why it only passed when Republicans agreed to oversight of the bill

It’s amazing that a party does nothing but jam social issues as a must do. But when a real social crisis arises that party is nowhere in sight because now they are being fiscally responsible.
Dems have desperately seized upon the PanicVirus as a means to regain power & care not one iota about anyone getting the PanicVirus Dems are content to nosedive crash the US into a depression if they can't extort their way into greater power.
Manipulators often move the goal post in order to push through stimulus bills that have strings attached that benefit their corporate PACs over the Americans they claim to serve. Even if those PACs are connected to foreign government leaders who invaded US stocks with SOEs & VCs.
As long as demoncrats can keep killing babies thats all that matters ! They dont have any concerns for families or the small.buisness employers ! When this hits home for you smart mouthed haters you'll be singing a different tune !
The president should put his attention on the health of every single American. Hunker down America. All of our resources should be put on every single American life. Be a patriot.
Shouldn’t LindseyGrahamSC have thought about that and spoken up when realDonaldTrump was hiding the news of the virus back in December and January?
Yes but all will be well Easter Sunday. Don’t worry, be happy.
WENEEDVENTILATORS
No more bailouts for billionaires mf
Typical of democrats.
Nickel & diming? Lindsey, they are stuffing you guys with nothing but useless pork with no relation to helping victims. You guys need to play hardball and show everyone exactly what Crazy Nancy is holding up assistance for. Time to find your cojones, Lindsey.
Just give everyone 2000 dollars and later on argue on the rest.
COVID19 = Russia
People are dying because the idiot realDonaldTrump is giving out terrible medical advice
All paychecks of Congress need to be held !!! As Americans suffer Dems play pork! .... HOLD ALL PAYCHECKS TO PELOSI, SCHUMER AND ANYONE PLAYING POLITICS AT A TIME WHEN PEOPLE ARE DYING & SUFFERING!!
All talk Graham is at it again. Where are the investigations he promised us? I don’t believe anything he says.
I think that the stimulus package should be negotiated live so that the American people see who is doing what and who is looking after our best interest
Come on - GOP are trying to get money that Trump can dole out - he even said it - Boeing needs money - silly Dems trying to get money for regular workers instead of rich executives- you people are horrible
BE PATIENT Y’ALL WILL RECEIVE YOUR PELOSI CHECK SOON😂😂😂 SHE IS THE BOSS
Just vote on one item at a time- no one is interested in going back to Obama Days
Do not cross that line. We do not want Democrats New Green Deal! Democrats need to be replaced that have proven to be enemy of the people! That proven their hatred and disdain for America!
Republicans are so desperate to be seen as the hero... when in reality it is their 'endless failures' that are the cause. Information was there early on in Jan and they all chose to do nothing
Nickel and diming is what McConnell's bill tried to do to American workers. Means-testing, waiting weeks for paid sick leave, less $$ for ppl who already have the least $$. Appears to be a feeding frenzy among corporations at the trough.
STAND YOUR GROUND LindseyGrahamSC DO NOT GIVE INTO THE BS!
Do Not sign agreement until it works! The Democraps are always Destroying America
What the hell is wrong with everyone, its right in front of your face, Polosi the Wicked witch of the west Flew in on her broom and started to do her nasty dirty work again, this is not a joke.
Some of these comments are so ill informed it scary!
GOP/DEM bipartisan workgroups were ready to send this forward at $1.8T before the greed set in. Now $2T and they still can't get it done. Congress is showing the world that it's broken.
FUCK big businesses. They fucked up in 2007/8, got tax cut on 2018/19. park some planes ✈️ and take some to the metal scarp yard, same goes for cruise ships....take care of small businesses first then big businesses..
I'm sick of Democrats and Republicans
A lobbyist revealed Repubs wanted slush-fund non-transparent & Trump would oversee it w/Mnuchin.What do you think they would do w/that $?It’s worth it to fight for a transparent stimulus package to ensure $$ goes to those hurting the most;not billionaire corp,wealthy or Trump!🤮
