Problem Solvers Caucus Unveil “March To Common Ground”, COVID-19 Relief Bill.

Something exceptional and unexpected just happened in Washington

After weeks of private negotiations, the House Problem Solvers – with 25 Democrats and 25 Republicans – released a compromise proposal bridging the divide on the thorniest issues, including: aid to small businesses, schools, cities and states; unemployment benefits; and funding for election security.

Negotiations appeared dead but they are now alive thanks to this shot of bipartisan momentum from the Problem Solvers.

MEDIA MENTIONS

“This bill appears to be a solid compromise that gives each side what it wants.”

“That could provide a crucial lifeline to millions of out-of-work Americans.”

“The group wants the plan to serve as an outline to push the leadership and the White House back to the negotiating table.”

“The bill would allocate $25 billion for mortgage and rental assistance, $130 billion for schools and $15 billion for the beleaguered Postal Service.”

“Puts added pressure on leaders to do something to help lessen the burden of the pandemic on American families.”

“The 50-member bipartisan House Problem Solvers Caucus is offering a $1.5 trillion bill to end the latest impasse over coronavirus relief, to deliver the aid that both sides agree is needed.”
