House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) urged GOP leaders to act quickly in the coming days, as millions of people are slated to lose extra $600-per-week unemployment benefits that were established in the face of the CCP virus pandemic.
“This weekend, millions of Americans will lose their Unemployment Insurance, will be at risk of being evicted from their homes, and could be laid off by state and local government, and there is only one reason: Republicans have been dithering for months while America’s crisis deepens,” the congressional Democratic leaders said in a statement on Friday.
