ist: congressman don bacon
with us, a member of the
bipartisan problem solvers
congress -- caucus, responsible
for the covid relief bill that
has gotten some momentum on
capitol hill.
will it have enough momentum to
get through a nancy pelosi
control house and a mitch
mcconnell controlled senate and
signed by the president?
will get somewhere close
to it.
for a long time, speaker pelosi
demanded that there be 2.2
trillion or something
thereabouts.
speaker mcconnell had it, then
they went down to about $500
billion.
i think that this plan is close
enough to leader mcconnell that
we can get him on board.
joe biden said he supported the
proposal and speaker pelosi
retreated.
i think we are very close.
i think it's very needed.
