What’s in the $900 billion coronavirus relief deal Congress just brokered

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced Sunday evening a final deal on a long-awaited COVID-19 relief and stimulus package totaling about $900 billion.

The House and Senate could vote to approve the package as early as Monday, and President Trump is expected to sign it.

“More help is on the way,” McConnell, R-Ky., said when he announced the deal on the Senate floor.

Added House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer: “We are going to crush the virus and put money in the pockets of the American people.”

The two chambers passed a one-day extension of federal funding Sunday night to ensure the government stayed open until the bill is passed.

Here are highlights of the deal, according to various summaries released by lawmakers late Sunday:
