Sunday marked a big day in Washington even though many expected more. On Sunday shortly after 5pm, members of the U.S Senate and House finally reportedly came to an agreement that would allow a COVID-19 relief bill to pass. The $908B bill includes $600 direct payments to Americans; extended unemployment insurance, and payments to schools and the like who need financial assistance as brought on by the pandemic.

“At long last, we have the bipartisan breakthrough the country has needed,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said on the Senate floor Sunday evening.

“As our citizens continue battling the coronavirus this holiday season, they will not be fighting alone,” he added.
