The Senate is expected to approve a bipartisan deal Tuesday afternoon that would pump another $310 billion into the Paycheck Protection Program, a federal program designed to extend loans to small business owners to help retain their employees for two months and keep their companies afloat amid the"There are still some more i's to dot and t's to cross, but we have a deal,” Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer announced in an interview on CNN’s"New Day.
"You need a significant federal involvement. You need a national strategy, and Mnuchin and the President and Meadows agreed to that, to their credit,” Sen. Schumer said, referring to Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. The White House did not respond to a request for comment about the alleged testing deal from ABC News. President Trump has, heretofore, said testing plans should be left to states.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell takes off a face mask to give brief remarks to members of the news media at the Senate carriage entrance on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., April 20, 2020.Of the $310 billion for PPP, $125 billion will be set aside for smaller banks, called Community Development Financial Institutions, who tend to service the smallest of small businesses, many minority- and woman-owned.

Everybody wants to take credit for this, good, that’s bipartisanship right there. 😂😂😂
TheView ...yep hard to believe that 345 million tests were not available....seriously folks..do a little research
At the COVID19 press briefing this afternoon can someone ask Trump how the testing is going to happen?
Thank you to our Democrat leaders. They will be the ones to save our country.
Wonder what other liberals garbage they were able to get into the bill. About 10 days too late.
why all this outcry for testing? Even Dr Fauci said is does little to help/ you could test negative now and 5 mins touch a door handle and then wipe your face and 5 mins later you can be positive. neverending testing goal

How absurd. The problem with testing has been first, creating a reliable test, and second logistics. VP Pence and his team has accomplished miracles in this regard.
How about the Post Office!!
That is so untrue, and inaccurately stated - Fauci and Brix can attest to this. Why does Schumer intentionally mislead, and lie why?
TheView It’s about time...but, I’ll believe it when I see it!! Pence said we had 4-5 million tests available in March...it’s now 4/21/20....!!?!
So now the testing issue is on it's way to being resolved? Trump wins again! First hospital beds, then ventilators, and now testing. Great leadership. Great execution by his team!
Its idiotic, you expose yourself to the virus just to take the actual test. Then 2 hours later at the grocery store, exposed again. Now you need another test...
Well-Done SenSchumer - certainly, reopening without a strong succinct nationwide testing strategy would be akin to Russian Roulette with all but one chamber loaded and hoping the spin lands on the empty one! ‘Do you feel lucky punk...well do yuh!!’ ‘Go ahead, make my day!
Shut up Chuck.
I will not be tested.
Can’t believe that achieving this was a fight. What is wrong with the GOP
The more you test, the lower the death rate will become. This shit is over. Imagine if the studies are correct when say 55 to NOW 95 times as more active cases, and hospital visitations are in decline
Trump says a lot of things. Let’s see it put in action.

The Democrats want to be part of the process. Fight for relevance. Take a victory lap after holding up the simple process of getting money to small businesses. Add in a few details and call it the main issue. Political spin at its best.
Wait isn’t what Brix and others were talking about the last 3 days? You held out fir something that was already in the works? Good job 👏
trump has never stopped supporting, planning for and encouraging testing. so that is a straight up LIE.
we all hear the battle cry, help the small businesses what is a small business?mom& pop stores, owners of 1 pizza shop. Baber shops, delis, and many more.they are what started America, big businesses are standing on the foundation built by small businesses. stop bull crap
any do nothing-dems' funding for planned parenthood, kennedy center, n the like? it should have been a quick, non-controversial vote by congress for a CLEAN funding bill for small businesses-only. dems r making our small businesses n economy hostage.
Hazard pay for front line workers when will that be ?All these people are making government look good
Democrats are to busy begging for money and eating ice cream while hiding from an invisible virus!! I hope the tin foil hats are working properly!! It could be the end of the world!! Oh no!! Scared to die and loose all my material stuff! Dems do nothing
The test that was developed with help by Trump was not even around a month ago. Amazing this test went from zero to distribution in such a short time. American's are stepping up to the challenge!
Absolutely disappointing headline and propaganda. Testing is increasing amd continuing and HAD NOTHING to do with delaying funding YET you allow That to go unchallenged
First let's test all of you in the capital for mental health. Then we will talk.
By Sept.
Feelings and Democrats have done is hold America people hostage. Nice try at ABC News
What a crap-load tweet. Psst, your bias is showing.
FAKENEWS
It’s about time
Pretty crazy the the Senate Dems must fight for and pass a bill to get the public tested. Twilight zone.
trumpy and jared will figure out a way to monetize it and fork it up.
