Rep. McGovern On What The Next Wave Of Pandemic Relief Will Mean For Massachusetts

After a weekend of collective breath-holding, and 24 hours during which it's estimated more than 300,000 Massachusetts residents temporarily lost unemployment coverage, the next wave of pandemic relief is here.
President Trump signed a massive spending bill that includes $900 billion in coronavirus relief, ending a five-day standoff he started with Congress.
The bill extends state unemployment coverage to 50 weeks, boosts weekly unemployment benefits, offers $600 stimulus checks for qualifying Americans, and provides funding for food assistance programs and small businesses.
We speak with Congressman Jim McGovern, who represents Massachusetts' 2nd Congressional district.
