But up until a few days ago,\r\nMitch McConnell refused to even come to the negotiating table. It shouldn't\r\nhave taken until the last possible minute to fund the government and to provide\r\nsome measure of relief to those in need, said Murphy. While $900 billion in COVID-19 relief is not enough,\r\nthis package will help a lot of people in Connecticut and across the country.\r\nThis new funding will help small businesses keep their doors open. It will help\r\nour schools operate safely. It will help those who have lost their\r\njobs.And it will help make sure that we're able to distribute the vaccine\r\nas quickly as possible to people in our state. I will support it when it\r\nreaches the Senate. ###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.murphy.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/murphy-statement-on-congress-reaching-covid-19-relief-deal"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.2616300955414772, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
