NEWS INTRO

"In today's news, the Senate voted to proceed to debate over President Biden's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package on Thursday. The 628-page bill has support from all 50 Senate Democrats, but Republicans are aiming to make its passage as difficult as possible by forcing votes on a dozens of amendments. GOP Senator Ron Johnson immediately asked the Senate clerk to read the entire bill aloud, a process that took almost eleven hours and had to be completed before the debate could begin. Both parties will have up to 10 hours each to debate on the bill, although it is unclear whether all 20 hours will be necessary."
