Senate Passes Relief Bill -- Will House Act Now?

The Senate finally passed the corona virus relief bill.  It goes to the House.  The hope is that the measure will be passed in the House today on a voice vote ASAP and that the President can sign the bill today also.  We will have to wait and see if Pelosi tries this or succumbs to the pressure of her party to "revise" the bill.  If that happens, it will be a disaster from which the Democrats will not recover.  The vote in the Senate was unanimous.  Even House Democrats have to realize that they can't stand in the way.  That's especially true after the new unemployment claims number came in at well over three million for the week -- up from 280,000 last week.
