A member of the Senate’s GOP leadership, Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), said the upper chamber wants to move quickly on a CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus relief bill after Labor Day, which is Monday, Sept. 7.

“That’s the goal,” Barrasso told PBS Newshour on Tuesday, referring to voting on a “skinny” COVID-19 stimulus measure.
