shannon: the house of representatives could vote on emergency release for the coronavirus crisis. let's go to capitol hill, chad program is standing by. where do we stand? >> i literally just spoke to jim mcgovern, democrat massachusetts, chair of the rules committee and said what are we going to vote? he said they are still drafting the bill. we do not have a bill text yet though we don't know the cost of this bill that most members of congress will vote, this will pass by an overwhelming margin but this is the criticism in washington, it is called logrolling, this is the train leaving the station. everybody get on board. something that has to pass and they pass it late at night and nobody has seen it. this is a different circumstance. people say they have to get this worked out, nancy pelosi talked 13 times with treasury secretary steve mnuchin, the point person, cutting this deal and there was a point in late afternoon when the president held his press conference and said there is not enough in there. people thought the deal was dead and two hours later nancy pelosi announced there was a packed. what republicans were waiting for was this magic series of tweets from the president was
