Republican COVID-19 relief bill fails to advance in the Senate
A roughly $500 billion COVID-19 relief package failed to advance in the Senate today as it fell short of receiving the necessary 60 votes.
The vote on the legislation was 52-47.
Republican leaders Tuesday introduced the package, which would provide additional assistance for priorities, including small businesses, enhanced unemployment insurance, child care, COVID-19 testing and schools.
The legislation also would provide liability protections from certain lawsuits related to COVID-19.
