Summary
President Trump signed the extension into law late Sunday night.The COVID relief deal also includes $25 billion in direct rental assistance and extends the eviction moratorium until January 31, the same day the moratorium on student loan payments ends. At a Sunday press conference, Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi both emphasized that, because of the incoming Biden administration, they are hopeful more legislative relief will come in the future even if Democrats fall short of a Senate majority.President-elect Joe Biden "will be able to focus the American people's attention on a Senate, the Republican members of the Senate, who are obstructing, getting in the way of, what they need," Schumer said.The House and Senate convened Sunday afternoon and could vote on a relief and funding package by the end of the day.
