Congress and the Trump administration are amid intense negotiations over a second bill to help combat impacts from the coronavirus pandemic, this one aimed at staving off a recession amid economic downturn.
Amid criticism over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic in the United States, President Donald Trump's predecessor has been the brunt of criticism by Trump for allegedly bungling the response to the H1N1 swine flu pandemic in 2009.
Trump has falsely claimed former President Barack Obama implemented a Food and Drug Administration rule change that resulted in"full scale disaster, with thousands dying, and nothing meaningful done to fix the testing problem, until now." But aside from the partisan claims that come with being an elected official, both scenarios forced Congress to act. Last week, Congress passed—and Trump approved—an $8.3 billion supplemental bill to help combat the virus that's caused schools across the country to shutter, sports leagues and public events to be cancelled, members of Congress to self-quarantine themselves and the U.S. Capitol to shut its doors to visitors.
