“The American people need more help,” he said, “That is what this Senate majority has assembled, and that is what Chairman Alexander, Blunt, Collins, Graham, Grassley, Rubio and Shelby and Senators Cornyn and Romney are introducing today.

He said that there will be a “sequel” to the Paycheck Protection Program “to help prevent more layoffs of American workers.”
