Pelosi and Schumer pledge quick action on Biden stimulus package

U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer on Thursday said Congress would get right to work on President-elect Joe Biden's stimulus package.

"The emergency relief framework announced by the incoming Biden-Harris administration tonight is the right approach," Pelosi and Schumer said in a joint statement. "We will get right to work to turn President-elect Biden’s vision into legislation that will pass both chambers and be signed into law."
