Senate unanimously passes $2T coronavirus stimulus package
By Jordain Carney - 03/25/20 11:49 PM EDT

The Senate unanimously passed an approximately $2.2 trillion stimulus package late Wednesday night in an effort to jumpstart an economy decimated by the coronavirus pandemic.

The bill provides aid for workers, small business and industries impacted in recent weeks by the virus.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) compared the efforts by Congress to combat the coronavirus to being on a “war-time footing.”


“This is not even a stimulus package. It is emergency relief. Emergency relief. That’s what this is,” McConnell said Wednesday afternoon ahead of the vote.

Taking a victory lap after the vote, McConnell noted that the Senate had gone from a deeply partisan impeachment trial to an overwhelming bipartisan 96-0 vote in the span of the two months.

Democrats held up the relief bill so they could give $25 million to the Kennedy Center.

IMO the rat attempts to use this virus crisis to get election cheating provisions made law are the most infuriating to me.
