Congress has reached an agreement on a second round of COVID-19 relief. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced Sunday night that leaders in both the House and Senate had reached a bipartisan agreement.
“For the information of all Senators, and for the information of the American people, we can finally report what our nation has needed to hear for a long time: More help is on the way,” McConnell said in a statement. “Moments ago, in consultation with our committees, the four leaders in the Senate and the House finalized an agreement.”
