Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) Tuesday called on Democrats to return to the negotiating table on COVID-19 relief in the midst of stalled talks between top Democrats in Congress and the White House.
“It does the nation a disservice to act like these last several weeks were just another routine political standoff,” McConnell said on the floor of the Senate. “It does struggling families, and laid-off workers, and stressed-out school principals, and health care professionals a disservice to act like this has just been more ordinary Washington gridlock.”
