A bipartisan group of lawmakers on Dec. 14 unveiled details of their two-part $908 billion COVID-19 relief plan that could form the basis of final talks between leaders in Congress.

“Bipartisanship and compromise is alive and well in Washington, contrary to what you’ve been hearing. We’ve proven that,” said Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), in announcing details of the two-part package that aims to provide economic relief to American workers and small businesses amid the pandemic.
