Democrats are unjustified in pressing for another $250 billion in spending initiatives not directly related to the pandemic in a new emergency relief bill that Republicans insist should be limited to small-business loans, according to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa).

Speaking to Fox News host Neil Cavuto on Saturday, Grassley said that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) failed to make a convincing case for more spending on select projects.
