It is currently unclear if lawmakers in Washington will be able to pass another Coronavirus relief package.

Democrats have said that what Republicans and the White House are proposing would not do enough, while the GOP said the Democrats' bill is too expensive.

Oklahoma Congressman Kevin Hern said at the very least lawmakers could approve additional help for small business owners through the Paycheck Protection Program.

“You have enough democrats that would pass it overwhelmingly, so these are the kind of things that are just really frustrating right now that we are not working on a bipartisan bill,” said Hern. “Regardless of what anyone says, this speaker knows this, or she wouldn't be meeting with the administration and not with republican leadership."

The house was supposed to vote on a relief bill on Friday but now law-makers are heading back to the drawing board.
