The White House and Senate leaders reached a breakthrough deal shortly after midnight Wednesday on a massive $2 trillion coronavirus relief package, Fox News has confirmed, capping off days of heated negotiations that had nearly been derailed by last-minute demands from House Democrats.

“Ladies and gentleman, we are done," White House legislative affairs director Eric Ueland announced as he left the office of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., near midnight. "We have a deal."

Based on what, where are you reading that ballot harvesting and the green new deal are still in there?

Yes, I want that answer too. The FOX article seems to indicate we got a clean bill.

Please folks. This is not the Senate bill. It is the House bill that is reported to have been dropped by Nancy. I don’t think the senate bill has been finalized into a written bill yet.

This bill is nearly identical to the bill Nancy Pelosi had Senate Democrats block Sunday night.

Schumer & Pelosi didn’t get ANY of the crazy leftist concessions they wanted.

So these people literally just delayed the relief to millions of people to hurt Trump.

That means the virus is now over? How stupid. Now we can open tomorrow and all is back to normal? Wake up and quit reading the funny pages.

That’s not the bill the Senate and White House just agreed to within the last two hours. The bill you linked to, was Nancy’s 1400+ page wish list bill posted online on Tue, many hours ago.

It might be...the one I linked might not be the “final agreement”...but it helps give people an idea of the pork/extraneous stuff they are trying.

the senate bill documentation with the changes isn’t completed yet.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-bill/3548/text

the bill you are pointing to looks like Pelosi’s House bill from the 23rd which she bailed on.

Perhaps you should take your own advice.
Let’s wait a bit for the vote and documentation on the senate bill before you go off the deep end.
House still has to deal with it.

Two days is nothing. What this Bill does to the country is what will hurt Americans and Trump alike.
