Politics Friday: Reps. Phillips and Stauber on federal coronavirus aid
The COVID-19 pandemic has taken its toll in many ways — not the least of which is the impact it's had on the economy.
Nearly 10 million people across the country have filed for unemployment, including almost 300,000 in Minnesota.
The federal government passed a $2.2 trillion plan to try to help cushion some of the impact, but a lot of people are left wondering how they're going to manage financially.
MPR News political editor Mike Mulcahy checked in on the federal response to the pandemic with two members of Minnesota's congressional delegation.
Guests:
Rep. Dean Phillips is a Democrat who represents Minnesota’s 3rd Congressional District.
Rep. Pete Stauber is a Republican who represents Minnesota’s 8th Congressional District.
