Sens. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.) criticized the Senate on Tuesday for negotiating a $484 billion CCP virus relief package while the majority of Senate lawmakers remained in their home districts.
Both Republicans voiced profound concerns about approving the provisions in the phase 3.5 relief bill without a recorded vote. While neither Lee nor Paul blocked the bill, they did imply that they would not allow such a process with future legislation.
