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. The package does not include direct $1200 payments but offers $300 weekly federal unemployment payments, extends eviction freezes, and renews the Paycheck Protection Program. Senator Manchin believes it will help in the short term until President-elect Biden proposes a new plan.
