Lawmakers Agree on $470B 'Phase 3.5' Coronavirus Deal
White House and Senate officials are closing in on a new coronavirus stimulus bill known as "phase 3.5" worth $470 billion, according to Fox News.
The bill will have a $310 billion set aside for Paycheck Protection Program, which gives grants to small businesses that can't pay their workforces.
“We won’t know if we are able to clear it by unanimous consent until we have a product," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told Fox News during an interview. "The talks are continuing. ... And we're getting closer, and hopefully we'll have an agreement of some kind later today.”
Last Thursday, the $350 billion set aside for small businesses from the last stimulus bill ran out.
