Lawmakers Must Start Over on Covid Relief Bill

· Leave a Comment

“The Senate’s bipartisan $10 billion Covid funding deal will need to be totally renegotiated, aides and senators expect, because some of the money laid out to pay for it has already been spent,” Politico reports.

“But don’t count on the Senate to pick up the scraps. The aide said Senate Democrats are not going to take the lead to figure out how to pay for the Covid aid package for a third time.”

Same Election. Different Stories.

Election Day brings a flood of political news — and which sources you follow can shape the story you see.

That's why I appreciate what Ground News does. It shows how the same story is covered across the political spectrum — and highlights important stories that one side may be ignoring entirely.

And when the votes are counted and everyone starts debating what they mean, it's a useful way to get a broader view.
