'The GOP senators threatened earlier Wednesday to hold up the package because as drafted it wouldn’t cap unemployment benefits at 100 percent of salary. '
'And if you’re trying to hire somebody in South Carolina the next four months, you got to compete with that wage,” Graham said on the floor. '
'A group of Republican senators has struck a deal with leaders to allow the $2 trillion economic relief package to pass the Senate on Wednesday evening. '
'The South Carolina senator said it’s almost impossible to dispute an unemployment claim on suspicion that a worker quit instead of being laid off. '
'Without consent from all 100 senators, the Senate passage could have been delayed until Friday. '
