Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Republicans and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) need to act with urgency in light of extended unemployment benefits ending at the end of the month.
On the floor of the Senate, Schumer said that “Leader McConnell at this crucial moment can’t even mention [COVID-19], it shows what a knot the Republicans are tied in,” adding that he mentioned other topics including the National Defense Authorization Act but not the pandemic relief efforts.
