U.S. Senate stalls USD 2 Trillion Coronavirus Aid Package

Coronavirus has made a big impact on aid packages too as a far-reaching Coronavirus economic stimulus package remained stalled in the U.S. Senate on Monday.  Democrats said it contained too little money for states and hospitals and not enough restrictions on a fund to help big businesses.

 

A 49-46 vote left the $2 trillion measure short of the 60 votes needed to advance, as the chamber remained deadlocked for a second day. Only one Democrat, Senator Doug Jones, voted with Republicans to advance the bill.

 

Congress has already passed legislation to blunt the economic toll of the pandemic that has killed more than 550 people in the United States and sickened more than 43,800, thrown millions out of work and led state governors to order nearly a third of the nation’s population to stay at home.
