Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on July 20 urged his colleagues to unify against a pandemic relief proposal that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is creating along with the White House.
“This one-party approach to this legislation is the same approach that delayed the passage of the CARES Act and the subsequent interim emergency relief legislation, failed on policing reform, and it won’t work this time around either,” Schumer said in a statement in reference to the $2.2 trillion CARES Act that was passed and signed into law in March, which expanded unemployment insurance and set up direct payments, small business funding, and more.
