Dems defect on Pelosi’s $3T COVID bill

A collection of moderate Democrats are rebuffing Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s $3 trillion coronavirus relief package.

Fox News reports Representatives from Virginia, South Carolina, Oklahoma and Iowa decry the bill as one-sided.

They aren’t the only ones defecting. GOP New York Rep. Peter King supports the measure which would provide about $1 trillion in relief to state and local governments.

Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger tweeted, “This bill strays far beyond delivering relief or responding to an urgent crisis, & it has no chance at becoming law. I’ll be voting no on the HEROES Act.” That vote expected today.
