A group of Republican senators urged President Donald Trump on Thursday to oppose any stimulus measure that would provide unrestricted funds that state governments could use for purposes other than the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a letter dated April 30, Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.) asked the president to reject efforts to add funds for states unrelated to the nation’s battle against the outbreak of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the coronavirus.
