Washington — The Senate on Wednesday passed a $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus package. The bill passed by a vote of 96 - 0.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced the bipartisan agreement in remarks on the Senate floor just after 1 a.m., during which he proclaimed that hurting health care workers on the front lines of the coronavirus outbreak and American families would finally see relief.
Now that the Senate has approved the measure, it will go to the House. The House, which is not in session, has been discussing the logistics of the vote, since two members have tested positive for COVID-19, and dozens have expressed concern about traveling back to the Capitol.
