An informal, bipartisan group of senators is trying to jump-start stalled coronavirus stimulus talks during the lame duck. Congressional leaders are still at odds over providing more relief as cases and deaths spike ahead of the coming winter.

A bipartisan group of senators is trying to jump-start stalled coronavirus stimulus talks during the lame duck, with congressional leaders still at odds over providing more relief as cases and deaths spike ahead of the coming winter.

The group is informal and sprawls throughout both caucuses in the Senate, according to sources familiar with the talks. The talks mostly involve telephone conversations since physical meetings in the Senate are at a minimum amid the coronavirus’s grip on the Capitol. Much of the discussion took place over the Thanksgiving recess last week.

Congressional leaders prefer a large spending package to avoid a shutdown instead of a stopgap continuing resolution into the new presidency of Joe Biden that begins next January.
