What you need to know

  • A deal about the path forward on the Covid-19 stimulus bill is coming soon, after being at a standstill for hours, a source says.
  • Moderate Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin stalled the passage as Republicans urged him to support a less generous unemployment benefits plan.
  • If the bill passes, it will have to go back to the House before Biden can sign it into law because it has undergone major changes in the Senate after the House passed it last week.

The Senate is voting into Saturday morning, follow our live coverage of the vote here.
