As I rise here today, the United States has more coronavirus cases than any nation on the planet. This is an unprecedented crisis that requires an unprecedented response. This bipartisan bill is a promise that help is on the way, that help is on the way for families with $1,200 checks and $2,400 for married families for food assistance. For the unemployed, help is on the way with $600 in unemployment benefits on top of State benefits. Help is on the way for our seniors and our veterans of financial assistance. Help is on the way for small businesses through payroll grants and other costs. For first responders and hospitals, help is on the way to confront this crisis. To our farmers and to our students, help is on the way. It is time to pass this bipartisan bill and send a message to central Florida and every American across every corner of this Nation that there is help because help and hope are on the way.
