Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he believes Democrats and Republicans will strike a coronavirus relief agreement "in the near future."
Democrats and the Trump administration are trying to resolve disputes over unemployment insurance, an eviction moratorium, relief to state and local governments and school funding. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., speaks during a news conference after the Senate Republican luncheon in the Hart Building in Washington on Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2020.would not say Thursday when he expects Congress to strike a deal on a fifth coronavirus relief package, but said both Democrats and many Republicans have a "desire" to boost an economy and health-care system ravaged by the pandemic.
"Exactly when that deal comes together I can't tell you, but I think it will at some point in the near future," the Kentucky Republican told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street." Negotiators have struggled to craft an aid bill that could pass both chambers of Congress as Democrats and Republicans struggle to hash out a bevy of differences. The sides have disputes over how to extend extra federal unemployment insurance, continue a moratorium on evictions from federally-backed housing, help schools educate students safely and offer relief to cash-strapped state and local governments.
Ask SpeakerPelosi Mr. Faber. She seems to be the hold up.
At least most of the Republicans? Is he serious?
Millennials can drown on debt.
Arrogant smile is gone! He is on his heels
Trickle up! Or give my small business a large grant.
Yea when people are evicted and out on the streets and we steal food to survive
SpeakerPelosi is a corrupt political hack. She wants to bail out the poorly run and corrupt Democrat sewer cities that allowed rioting, looting and arson. That is the hold up. And jimcramer face masks are unhealthy. Just stop. Send the kids to school.
MoscowMitchMcConnell home state is ruinous in economic and educational development. What a terrible role model he is in the 21st century.
We all need help but Democrat states have the highest unemployment.
All behind $600, for people who can’t work..... 🙄
Two absolute losers.
Corporations were their only concern. Then, oh wait we should throw a bone to the PEOPLE. BonedThePeople
This is Mitch McConnells fault. He wants blanket immunity for companies and corps. And he’s holding that assistance as leverage till he gets what he wants.
He can’t even get his party in check smh
Some of us were concerned about the indebtedness in the US back in the 1980’s. Now, when we really need it, some are concerned we e overdone. It wasn’t just prior 3T ago. It has been 50 years of stacking on debt.
Ok Mitch, Will tell our mortgage holder that they will get their payment eventually
Don't pay no attention to no clue Moscow Mitch
Oh please, and take your time doing this. We can wait, after all it's been months since the last relief check. Take your vacations, come back and continue to argue about this while Americans sink deeper in debt and depression.
Fullcarry on Monday ..... just not sure which Monday
