Democratic congressional leaders are renewing their push for a fourth CCP virus relief bill, calling for additional funding for small businesses along with further funds for crucial equipment for healthcare workers.

Days after Democrats blocked Republicans from adding $250 billion to the Paycheck Protection Program, a fund that’s aimed at helping small businesses get loans to keep employees, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said there clearly wasn’t enough money in the program “to cover the tremendous need.”
