Biden administration to renew fight for more COVID funding with $10 billion request.
this past winter and spring to secure more money to address the pandemic, the White House plans on requesting $10 billion during the lame-duck session of Congress before newly elected lawmakers begin in January, sources familiar with the discussions confirmed to ABC News.
President Joe Biden receives the latest Covid-19 booster shot in the South Court Auditorium of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, next to the White House, in Washington, Oct. 25, 2022."That means an urgent need for additional COVID-19 funding remains to help us stay on our front foot against an unpredictable virus with the tools we know work to protect the American people against COVID-19," the source continued.
But Republicans stonewalled the effort, skeptical of how Democrats had spent the billions in COVID aid that had already been allotted. Texas Sen. John Cornyn and others linked such efforts to high inflation.
