Bipartisan support is growing for an economic relief bill

Season 2020 Episode 351 | 8m 22s

With just weeks left in the year, bipartisan support is growing in Congress for a more than $900 billion COVID-19 relief bill. If passed, it would extend aid for small businesses, unemployment benefits and provide extra funding for state and local governments. Utah Republican Sen. Mitt Romney is among those backing the bipartisan negotiations. He joins Judy Woodruff to discuss.
