Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) announced Dec. 20 that a deal has been made on a $900 billion CCP virus relief package following months of failed negotiations.

“As the American people continue battling the coronavirus this holiday season, they will not be on their own,” he said in a Twitter statement. “Congress has just reached an agreement. We will pass another rescue package ASAP. More help is on the way.”
