It's a snapshot I might remind you up to mid November, before the surgeon covert cases, we predicted many predicted, and the death sprys that we've seen in December as we head into a very dark winter ahead.

If Congress and President Trump failed act by the end of December, 12 million Americans will lose their unemployment benefits.

They rely on Merry Christmas.

If we don't act now, the future will be very bleak.

Americans need help, and they need it now.

But I must tell you, I am encouraged by the bipartisan efforts in the Senate around $900 billion package for relief.

It's a bipartisan effort, you know.

In the weeks since this election ended, there were questions about whether Democrats and Republicans could work together.

I know many of your skeptical about my view that they will and can't right now for showing they can.

Congress and President Trump have to get this deal done for the American people.

But any package passed in the lame duck session is not gonna be enough.

Overall is critical, but it's just a start Congress.
