It took five days of intense meetings between senators and the White House.

Senator Mitch McConnell stated during a discourse on Wednesday, pledging that the senate would pass the fund package later in the day. “This is a wartime level of investment into our country,” “The people of the greatest nation on the globe are going to defeat the coronavirus and restore our future,” he included.

Senator Chuck Schumer and his team invested many hours in finalizing the language and working out the remaining major points.
