Democrats and Republicans Still Not Seeing Eye to Eye on Next Step of COVID-19 Relief

Presumptive President-elect Joe Biden has said he supports a bi-partisan COVID-19 relief proposal that is circulating on Capitol Hill. Democrats and Republicans still do not see eye to eye on details of a COVID-19 relief package, and majority leader Mitch McConnell wants the Senate to pass a targeted bill that President Donald Trump has said he would sign. McConnell said, "the targeted second round of Paycheck Protection that we've been trying to establish since July would help a huge number of small businesses survive to the finish line, and help huge numbers of workers keep their jobs..." However, Democrats insist there is need for comprehensive reform that would also include money to bail out transit systems and airlines, but would include a higher price tag. U.S. Senator, Catherine Cortez Masto, stated "Nobody should be standing in the way of a comprehensive, bipartisan relief package to help Americans hold out until they can get the vaccines that we know are coming. They need relief now." Capitol Hill Correspondent, Erik Rosales reports. Don't miss out on the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
