The Senate is planning to vote on a massive $2 trillion relief bill at midnight, after a last-minute fight over proposed unemployment provision delayed proceedings on Wednesday, people familiar with the situation told CNBC.
They argued a proposal to add $600 per week to unemployment insurance for up to four months, a core provision of the near-final legislation could encourage companies to lay off workers and Americans to stay unemployed, urging a vote to cap the aid.
Earlier in the day, four Republican senators, including Ben Sasse of Nebraska, threatened to hold up the bill over their objections.
