The House of Representatives Problem Solver Caucus’s co-chairs, Reps. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) and Tom Reed (R-N.Y.) are urging President Donald Trump to sign the CCP virus relief bill, stressing the huge effort and negotiation that went into getting the two parties to agree to the provisions in the bill.

“We worked for months, as you know, Democrats and Republicans, not just in the House but in the Senate. We got to an agreement, the president’s representatives including the Secretary of Treasury was at the table. We all agreed to this and voted in the House and the Senate overwhelmingly with support from both sides and then suddenly out of nowhere the President decides to hold this hostage,” said Gottheimer.
