Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) on Tuesday night criticized Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) for introducing a new bill tying the $2,000 direct payments to “unrelated” demands, saying the leader’s bill is doomed.
“Senator McConnell knows very well how to make a bill of law, and he knows how to kill a bill,” Schumer said, adding that, “The only way to deliver the $2,000 survival checks to Americans, is to pass the bipartisan House-passed bill called the CASH Act.”
