Coronavirus: We have a stimulus package!
Episode description
Five days. That’s how long it took Senate leaders to announce a deal on a nearly $2 trillion coronavirus relief package early this morning. POLITICO's Marianne LeVine explains how Congress 'fast forwarded talks 100 times' to make it happen. Plus, the White House is calling for anyone leaving the New York area to self-isolate for two weeks. And President Trump wants the country to 'reopen' by Easter.
Marianne LeVine covers the Senate for POLITICO.
