NEWS INTRO

In today's news, the US Congress has passed a long-awaited 900-billion-dollar coronavirus aid package. The aid includes direct payments for many Americans and support for businesses and unemployment programs. President Trump is expected to sign the package into law quickly. President-elect Biden also welcomed the relief plan but said Congress needs to get to work to support his COVID 19 relief plan. In other news, Santa is real and you can't tell me otherwise. How else do presents get under the tree? Who else eats the cookies? The one and only answer is Santa.
