Senate to take up coronavirus package after House passes revised bill

The House passed by unanimous consent Monday evening the revised coronavirus emergency bill, sending it to the Senate to take up as the coronavirus continues to spread across the U.S.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin worked out the "technical corrections" bill Monday and were able to get it through the House without objection.

The Senate could take up the House's multi-billion package as early as Tuesday. Following meetings with senior administration officials Monday,some Senate Republicans initially reluctant to support the measureseemed to drop their opposition to the proposal.
