Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on March 15 that the Senate will convene Monday to continue discussions on “crucial legislation” beyond the coronavirus relief package that cleared the House early Saturday.
In a statement Sunday, McConnell said the Senate still needs to receive the final version of the House’s coronavirus legislation, and that he had discussed “the next steps” of the legislation at length with a number of GOP committee chairmen over the weekend.
