WASHINGTON (KTRK) -- While the Senate narrowly passed the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill Saturday, Texas' two senators joined their Republican party colleagues in voting against the measure, calling it a waste. "This bill is stuffed with pork, with only nine percent of the almost $2 trillion going toward actual and urgent COVID relief," said Sen. Ted Cruz in a statement. "Instead of working in a bipartisan manner to open our schools, bring back small businesses, and help struggling Americans get back on their feet, Democrats chose to pander to their radical liberal base with partisan handouts." Sen. John Cornyn pointed to last year's relief efforts as a moment of unity and said that was missing this time around.
