NOTE: Video of segment included at kitv.com, includes statement from Rep. Tulsi Gabbard. Hundreds of billions of dollars are on the line as Congress negotiates another bill to fund the government or possibly face another shutdown. During an interview with Maleko McDonnell and Lei U'i Kaho'okula on Good Morning Hawaii, Representative Tulsi Gabbard explained how some of the provisions of the $900 billion bill would cover rental relief, unemployment aid, funding for testing and contact tracing. Gabbard believes Congress still has a long way to go. "It will not be enough -- it will provide some assistance, but in my opinion it does not go nearly far enough. It'll provide another $288 billion toward that PPP small business assistance, so those small business owners will be able to go and get assistance," Gabbard stated. "It'll add $180 billion toward unemployment assistance fund, making it so that those on state unemployment now will get that additional $300 a week of federal unemployment through the end of March." Representative Gabbard said Wednesday Congressional leaders are expected to vote on a one week extension to postpone Friday's spending deal deadline. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
