Congress Ready To Roll Out New COVID-19 Relief Plan

The transcript discusses a $908 billion relief package supported by President Trump, which is less than half of what Democrats proposed. It is an emergency relief package intended to last until April 1, providing essential support to small businesses and individuals.
