Senate Moving Slowly Toward Vote On Economic Stimulus Bill

Senate could vote tonight. House still must approve the bill

(Washington, DC)  —  The Senate is moving slowly toward passage of a massive economic stimulus bill, which is expected sometime tonight.  Senators are waiting to get a look at the specific language in the more than one-thousand page measure.  A bipartisan deal was struck overnight on the roughly two-trillion-dollar package, aimed at dealing with the severe economic fallout from the growing coronavirus crisis.  The bill must also be approved by the House before it can be sent to President Trump.
