As Congress prepares to vote on the newest pandemic relief bill, Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) is breaking from his party to vote in favor of the $3 trillion CCP virus relief package, dubbed The Heroes Act, designed by House Democrats.
King told The Hill Wednesday that while he does not agree with all of the provisions in the bill, he does support funding state and local governments that have been hardest hit, like his Long Island district.
