Top House Democrat: Congress Extremely Close to Finalizing New Stimulus Deal
Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said Friday morning that a new stimulus package was on the verge of being finalized and that Congress would not break for the holidays until it is agreed upon.
“We’re extremely close to a stimulus deal,” said Jefferies, “We hope to be able to get this done, if not today, at some point tomorrow or over the weekend. We will remain in Washington for as long as it takes to provide the American people with the relief that they need.”
Jefferies told CNN that the details of the $900 billion deal to provide relief from a devastated but recovering economy as a result of lockdowns in the wake of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic were still being ironed out because they want it to be “meaningful, comprehensive, and continuing.”
