Lawmakers tried to hash out the details of coronavirus legislation, in the hope of passing the relief package for families and workers Thursday night, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the vote was more likely to occur Friday.
“It’s fair to say we are close to an agreement subject to an exchange of paper and hope to have an agreement tomorrow,” Pelosi said late Thursday, adding that the vote will happen Friday “one way or another.” Passage of a bill would be a "confidence builder," she said, urging Americans to get "tested, tested, tested."
The House will introduce the coronavirus bill as a suspension proposal -- allowing it to move directly to the floor without a Rules Committee debate. The bill will require approval from two-thirds of lawmakers, with significant Republican buy-ins added to the package. Click here for more.
