The latest COVID-19 rescue bill passed the House of Representatives today, as nearly $500 billion in aid will be on its way to small businesses and health care systems after President Trump signs it into law.
While the measure passed almost unanimously by lawmakers donning face masks and bandanas, the next step is likely to be more contentious, according to an article by the Associated Press.
That next step involves proposals to provide federal aid to state and local governments, including compromised state pension systems. Democrats are generally supportive, but Republicans are raising questions about providing the aid.
