United States Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is thanking President Donald Trump for signing the COVID-19 relief package was passed early last week by Congress.
McConnell says the bipartisan rescue package that Republicans in Congress and the Trump administration negotiated with the Democrats will extend another major lifeline to workers at struggling small businesses, renew major relief for laid-off Americans, invest billions more in vaccine distribution, send cash directly to households, and more. He adds the compromise bill is not perfect, but it will do an enormous amount of good for struggling Kentuckians and Americans across the country who need help now.
McConnell also thanked the President for signing this relief into law, along with full-year government funding legislation that will continue the rebuilding and modernization of our Armed Forces that his Administration has championed. His leadership has prevented a government shutdown at a time when our nation could not have afforded one.
McConnell says he is glad the American people will receive this much-needed assistance as our nation continues battling this pandemic.
