Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday said the upper chamber will address President Donald Trump’s concerns about higher stimulus payments and Section 230 later this week—coming after McConnell blocked unanimous consent on the higher stimulus check amount.

“This week, the Senate will begin a process to bring these three priorities into focus,” McConnell said on the floor.
