Steven Mnuchin urged lawmakers Monday to get the nearly $2 trillion phase three stimulus package passed through Congress to continue combatting the economic fallout from the coronavirus outbreak.

'We are going to make sure we get through this and we are going to win this war,' the Treasury secretary told Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business Network Monday morning.

'I want everybody to know, we need to get this legislation passed today,' he pleaded.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will hold a second vote on the phase three stimulus bill at noon Monday morning after the relief package failed Sunday night despite a full day of negotiations.

Mnuchin has been spearheading the administration's efforts to get a bipartisan bill passed. The former Democrat has worked with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the past and was able to help get the $100 trillion phase two bill passed earlier this month.

'I am on my way to the Senate this morning to meet with Mitch McConnell and his team and Senator Schumer,' Mnuchin told Fox Business.
