Republican and Democratic representatives came together to pass a bipartisan bill in the early hours of Saturday morning to provide relief to American workers and families in the face of the growing coronavirus crisis.
If passed by Senate and signed into law by President Donald Trump, who has expressed support for the bill, the Families First CoronaVirus Response Act would ensure provisions for paid emergency leave for those affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, as well as free testing for those who need it.
But while 363 participating Democrats and Republicans voted in favor of the measure, 40 Republican representatives stood against it, voting “nay” on its passage, while Independent Justin Amash voted “present.”
