Senate OKs $1.9T virus relief bill

WASHINGTON (AP) — An exhausted Senate has narrowly approved a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill.

Final passage came after the Senate voted all night on a mountain of amendments.

Nearly all were from Republicans and were rejected.

Senate passage sets up final congressional approval by the House next week so lawmakers can send it to Biden for his signature.

The huge package is President Joe Biden’s biggest early priority.
