Congress struggles to reach a deal on its massive coronavirus stimulus bill
(Worthy News) – Talks between Democrats and Republicans for a massive funding package to combat the impact of coronavirus have stalled, as lawmakers spar over issues like worker protections and funding for states battling the crisis.
Efforts to forge a deal and pass the bill took on added urgency as several members of Congress, including GOP Sen. Rand Paul, tested positive for the coronavirus.
Congressional aides said that pressure to come to a deal quickly could force the two parties to come to a resolution sooner rather than later. One of those aides said Republicans and Democrats were still working to negotiate a deal that both sides could agree on by the 6 p.m. vote. Yet as of late Sunday afternoon, it remained unclear whether a deal was achievable. [ Source: CNBC (Read More…) ]
