Democrats can pass the coronavirus relief package: Transportation Secretary Buttigieg

The importance of a coronavirus relief bill will ensure that Democrats can pass the massive spending package, recently confirmed Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg said Sunday on ABC's "This Week."

"Each passing day the need for relief becomes more urgent," Buttigieg said, "ensuring that we have the resources to defeat this virus, but also to support American working families."

Buttigieg told ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos that bipartisan support is present among Americans.

"That's not just a unifying priority for the Democratic coalition and something that has a remarkably large degree of support among Republicans -- at least among Republican voters, Republican mayors -- we're hoping that will also show up among Republican legislators here in Washington. But, of course, that's what the next few days will show," he added.
