By Kristina Peterson and Andrew Duehren WASHINGTON Senate leaders from both parties called on the other to compromise Saturday in the final round of negotiations over a $900 billion coronavirus relief package, saying they hoped to complete an agreement later in the day. On Friday night, both chambers passed a two-day spending patch, signed into law by President Trump, to keep the government funded through Sunday while negotiations continued. The previous deadline had been 12:01 a.m. Saturday. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) said lawmakers were still negotiating Saturday over the last stumbling block: a push from Sen. Pat Toomey (R., Pa.) to restrict the Federal Reserve s emergency lending powers.
