Lawmakers finally seal the deal

After months of failed stimulus negotiations and more than a week of Relief Bill disagreements, both members of the House of Congress and Senate have finally agreed to the relief bill.

Millions of Americans will have the help they need just in time before Christmas. Daily News reports that lawmakers struck the deal on Sunday on a $900 billion relief bill that includes stimulus checks, a fund for COVID-19 vaccines, unemployment benefits, and more.

The agreement came after they resolved some disputes in the Federal Reserve.  Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced that a deal had been hammered out after intensive negotiation from both parties.

This confirmed that Republicans and Democratic lawmakers have finally found their common ground to deliver financial aids to individuals and businesses.

"We can finally report what our nation has needed to hear for a very long time. More help is on the way. Moments ago, in consultation with our committees, the four leaders of the Senate and the House finalized an agreement. It will be another major rescue package for the American people. If our citizens continue to battle the coronavirus this holiday season, they will not fight alone," McConnel said.

In a report in CNBC, McConnell said that senators will not leave the Capitol without getting the relief bill approved. The recent statement of the Republican leader just made it clear his real intention and goal to help the struggling Americans.

Final votes on Monday

The top leaders of both chambers told the lawmakers from the House of Congress and Senate that they will vote on the legislation on Monday.

The 48-hour stopgap government funding bill that Pres. Donald Trump signed has really helped that lawmakers meet an agreement. 

Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said on early Sunday that lawmakers were ironing out the details and that a vote on the second-largest federal stimulus in the nation's history will happen as early as Sunday night.

"The legislation is coming together. We'll put money in the pockets of everyday people," Schumer stated.

Schumer admitted that the measures under the relief bill are not enough but they want to make sure that Americans will have the help they need before the year ends. He also added that a bigger amount will be given once the new administration enters the White House. 

The bill that lawmakers will vote on Monday includes $600 direct payments to most U.S. taxpayers and provide a federal $300-per-week bonus to millions of unemployed workers.

It also includes more than $300 billion in relief to small businesses and provides states with cash for COVID-19 vaccine distribution
