Democrats in the Senate Propose $21B in New COVID-19 Funding Bill
Senate Democrats on Thursday unveiled a measure to provide $21 billion in emergency funding to fight COVID-19, but immediately ran into roadblocks from Republicans.
The measure would provide funding for research on improved vaccines that can better combat new variants and allow for the purchasing of additional vaccines, tests and treatments.
There has been a months-long battle over COVID-19 funding, however, and the latest move from Democrats did not lead to any signs of the showdown being resolved.
