Senate passes emergency coronavirus package with paid sick leave, sending it Trump's desk
The Senate on Wednesday passed emergency measures to cushion the financial pain caused by the coronavirus pandemic, which has triggered closures across the economy and encouraged Americans to hunker down at home.
While the package includes tax credits to offset costs of paid sick leave, some Republicans argue it places unnecessary burdens on businesses. But on Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell urged Republicans to "gag and vote for it anyway." He said any perceived shortcomings could be addressed in a third stimulus package that lawmakers have started.
President Donald Trump is expected to sign the bill into law this week. The White House has separately pressed for an additional $1 trillion to prop up the economy, which could be combined with the third round of stimulus legislation that Capitol Hill began to negotiate at the beginning of the week.
