The Senate Majority Leader has rejected Democratic proposals, while remaining a staunch opponent to calls from the president to increase spending.

Not long after the CARES Act was passed, lawmakers began to discuss the prospect of further relief being needed.

McConnell gave these calls short shrift—suggesting that a pause need be taken to determine the outcomes of prior action before enacting more.This call came much to the ire of Democrats, who insisted the crisis was ongoing and not pausing--so lawmakers should not either in their response to it. "In the process of spending about $2.8 trillion, we now have a debt the size of our economy. So I said, and the president has said as well, that we need to take a pause here,"

"Take a look at what we've done, see what's working, see what isn't. And also begin to encourage the governors around the country, who have the decision-making ability, to open up the economy.", who pushed for a $3.4 trillion package known as the HEROES Act, suggested he tell the virus to take a pause.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell , replaces his face mask while talking to reporters following the weekly Senate Republican policy luncheon in the Hart Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill on September 30. He has pushed against several stimulus proposals, while struggling to garner support for his own pitches.In July, McConnell with the blessing of the White House touted measures with a $1 trillion price tag.
