This is a moment in which I am just bringing the frustration and the fear that I hear in the voices of Montanans who are asking: What in the world is going on back in Washington, DC? We have a package. As you can see, what happened today in the markets around the world is that there was optimism. Why? Because we have something here that is going to be a rescue.

We could spend the next 30 to 40 minutes going through, in detail, all of the things that are in this bill that are going to help working people in this country and small businesses. In the meantime, Senator Graham, I agree with you. If we can't get this passed, every Member of Congress should start donating his pay to a charity that is currently on the frontline of dealing with the coronavirus and COVID-19.
