Next week's coronavirus relief proposal will be nearly identical to legislation Republicans attempted to pass in September, which included $300 in boosted federal weekly unemployment benefits through the end of December

“Speaker Pelosi keeps saying she feels ‘nothing’ is better than ‘something’ and clinging to far-left demands that are designed to kill any hope of a deal,” McConnell said Saturday. “Working families have spent months waiting for Speaker Pelosi’s Marie Antoinette act to stop. They should not have to wait any longer.”

“He’s talking about a much larger amount than I can sell to my members,” McConnell said earlier this week.

Lock Mitch up

No, not good enough. You can't save yourselves with a puny bill like that Mitch.

The bill democrats filibustered to keep from helping Americans. Pelosi, this freak of nature told Blitzer that she feeds those hungry people several times. So if they filibuster this again just go to Nancy's.

The UNSTABLE Con-Man-in-Chief NEEDS to have Already Been Dragged to Lock-Up with Heavy Duty MEDS for RECKLESS ENDANGERMENT...to Entire Nation of US! SENATE ENABLERS ARE COMPLICIT!

More Americans might die from hungry, unclean living conditions, and depression if they are unable to care or feed themselves while waiting for a substantial amount of Corvid-19 relief. American deaths from these conditions may possibly surpass Corvid-19 deaths.

Per usual the gop is okay with bailing out and helping corporations while giving pennies to Americans 🇺🇸 during a global pandemic. People are literally out of work and in need. Our government is not for the people and corporations are not people!! Period!

Too little too late. They’re never going to save their butts with that. It’s still all about them and not the people who are suffering.

Really Politico? How can a Trillion dollars more possibly be 'Nearly Identical'?

Realizing they screwed the pooch by doing nothing the last 4 1/2 months.

Sad

senatemajldr we need more $$.

A trash bill. What do the corps or rich get? Guessing more than 50% of this puny bill

McConnell isn't interested in a relief bill unless it indemnifies employers for forcing people back to work. Elect AmyMcGrathKY and DitchMitch2020 !

The biggest treat to our Republic is not Trump but McConnell. He’s been starving people in Kentucky, while getting rich off of corporate America for years! He needs to go! Kentucky wake up and veto him out!

No chance in hell this will pass. senatemajldr knows this and does not care. GOP aka party of “No”.

So another ‘no’ vote. This is all for optics. McConnell isn’t trying to negotiate instead he’s strong arming and holding the well being of American tax payers hostage. Shameful. TermLimits

identical to legislation Republicans attempted to pass in September Please elucidate on what “attempted to pass” means. Did the bill even get put to a vote in the committee? No. Mitch shut it down because 20 GOP Senators has told him they would not vote for any relief bill.
