BS. Pelosi demanded scrapping any voter ID, accepting mail in ballots up to 10 days after the election and imposing same day voter registration. She demanded $225 Billion for school districts but only 2% of that was slated for actual virus related spending. The rest was for the teacher's union. Don't give me any more BS about how this was McConnell's delay. I can't stand that coke snortin' bag of wimp, but this was NOT on him.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell rejected a new bipartisan $908 billion stimulus plan put forward in an effort to break the legislative stalemate as the coronavirus surges throughout the country.
enate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Friday a new coronavirus stimulus bill should be considered at the beginning of 2021, not in a post-election lame duck session of Congress as some lawmakers had hoped would happen after pre-election talks failed.
"We probably need to do another package, certainly more modest than the $3 trillion dollar Nancy Pelosi package," McConnell told Hugh Hewitt's radio program. "I think that'll be something we'll need to do right at the beginning of the year."
Almost a week after Democratic congressional leaders climbed down from their demand for a multi-trillion dollar stimulus package, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell continued to tout his own plan, dimming prospects for a proposed bipartisan compromise as the basis for a deal.
McConnell’s top priority -- federal limits on Covid-19 related lawsuits against businesses -- has emerged as a key potential deal-breaker, along with state and local aid that Democrats want. Republicans have balked at the six-month moratorium on lawsuits proposed in a bipartisan stimulus package, saying it’s too limited.
