Throughout the end of this past legislative week, Eagle Forum tracked the second Coronavirus supplemental’s negotiations on Capitol Hill. While Twitter started to announce that a deal was reached, Republicans quickly denounced it. In the meantime, President Trump declared a national emergency and invoked the Stafford Act, a request that came from Washington state’s Governor Jay Inslee, which freed up $42 billion to use against Corona.
