Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Wednesday said it’s not clear whether Democrats and the White House will come to an agreement on a COVID-19 relief package before the November elections.
“I don’t know if there will be another package in the next few weeks or not,” McConnell told reporters in Kentucky, adding that partisan tensions are high at the moment, meaning that it’s unlikely a bipartisan bill would be passed. The $2.2 trillion CARES Act was passed largely along bipartisan lines in March, coming just weeks after the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus first hit the United States.
