Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Tuesday that Congress will work through the holidays, if necessary, to pass a CCP virus pandemic relief package.

“I assure you, we’re not leaving until we finish this package,” McConnell said during a press briefing Tuesday, as congressional leaders were heading into a meeting with the hope of reaching an agreement on a new round of pandemic aid for Americans.
