Top Democrats vow to get to work on Biden's COVID-19 rescue package proposal
Congressional Democratic leaders commended Biden's announcement outlining his COVID-19 emergency relief proposal.
"The emergency relief framework announced by the incoming Biden-Harris Administration tonight is the right approach. It shows that Democrats will finally have a partner at the White House that understands the need to take swift action to address the needs of struggling communities," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement.

"We will get right to work to turn President-elect Biden's vision into legislation that will pass both chambers and be signed into law," they added.
"The robust package announced by President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris shows we now have the necessary leadership in the Executive Branch to turn this around and we are ready to get to work to deliver aid without delay," Pelosi and Schumer said.
