WASHINGTON – Democrats narrowly passed through the House Friday a $3 trillion coronavirus relief package that exposed some division within their ranks even as Republicans overwhelmingly voted against it amid a veto threat from the White House.
Fourteen House Democrats opposed the bill, most of them moderates representing GOP-leaning districts. One Republican, retiring Rep. Peter King of New York, voted for the measure, which passed 208 to 199.
