Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said there are 20 Senate Republicans who are done giving out federal relief funds for the coronavirus pandemic.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the reason the GOP's newly-proposed stimulus bill is"emaciated" is because almost half of Senate Republicans don't want to hand out any more coronavirus relief funds.
Schumer warned that millions of local and state workers could be facing layoffs as a result. He said that the bill McConnell introduced Tuesday would also leave out children who need food assistance, tenants who cannot pay rent, rural areas that need broadband for virtual learning, the restaurant industry and hospitals.
Congress has been in negotiations over a second federal stimulus package for more than a month but Democrats and Republicans have been unable to come to any agreement.
