Today U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) voted in favor of Covid relief legislation only because it contains direct assistance for working Americans. Senator Hawley said that the assistance was a fraction of what it should be but is desperately needed for millions of Americans.
Senator Hawley led the push to include direct assistance in the bill and criticized negotiators for giving billions of dollars to bureaucrats and corporations while ignoring working Americans.
I will vote yes on #covid relief bill for one reason and one reason only: it contains direct assistance to working families. That assistance is not nearly enough, fraction of what it should be. But it is something, & for millions of working Americans, it’s help desperately needed
