Democrat says House vote on $2 trillion aid deal could fall to Friday
By Marty Johnson - 03/25/20 01:53 PM EDT
Rep. Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) said Wednesday that the House's vote on the $2 trillion coronavirus package reached by Senate leaders could possibly be pushed to Friday.
"Our goal is to get our caucus all of the information that they need and to get to unanimous consent or voice vote by tomorrow, certainly by Friday," Clark, the vice chair of the House Democratic Caucus, told MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell.
"We are balancing the urgency which we must get this relief to the American people and our responsibility, with a multiple trillion dollar package, to the taxpayers – and to making sure that this funding is targeted at those that need it the most," she said.

If the election provisions are not stripped out, then I hope it fails Friday. This is an outrage that there are ANY non-germane issues are bundled into this POS bill.
