Ron Johnson on the Stimulus Legislation

Frederica Freyberg:

Debate continued today in Washington over the COVID-19 stimulus package. This, after the reading aloud of the entire 628-page bill that concluded around 2:00 this morning. The read-aloud was forced to happen by Wisconsin Republican Senator Ron Johnson. “I’m going to make the Senate clerk read the Democrats’ $1.9 trillion bill,” he said in a tweet on Wednesday. “Then I’m going to offer amendments. Many amendments,” he said.
