Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Friday that he doesn’t expect Congress and the White House to come to an agreement on COVID-19 relief, although the Trump administration made another offer worth $1.8 trillion hours later.
“I think the murkiness is a result of the proximity to the election, and everybody kind of trying to elbow for political advantage. I'd like to see us rise above that ... but I think that’s unlikely in the next three weeks,” McConnell told reporters in Kentucky, referring to the on-and-off-again negotiations that have last since the summer.
