McConnell postpones critical vote on economic relief package after Democrats threaten to block it

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell postponed a critical vote on an economic relief package at the last minute after Democrats announced they oppose the measure without further changes.

Their objections threatened to sink the bill, which was up for a 3 p.m. vote that would have allowed debate to begin on the bill.

McConnell, a Kentucky Repubilcan, urged Democrats to at least advance the bill, which would still allow more time for talks. Now that the vote is postponed, lawmakers have additional time to try to come to an agreement by tonight.

Senate and House Democrats oppose parts of the bill and are holding out for changes. McConnell wants them to vote for the shell measure that will serve as the vehicle for the $2 trillion bipartisan bill, which is mostly complete but could still see changes to win over more Democrats.

Amen @mystery-ak

I hope they have their priorities straight.  They should prioritize how the funds are distributed starting from the bottom up.  Should be delays in funding for big corporations depending on loss and how soon they can recover without breaking the bank.

AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

This bill is loaded with special interest pork, it should be voted down.

If Trump's approval ratings were dropping the Rats would be really eager to help the American people. Trump has been so good so far they need to do something to make things worse and blame Trump and the Pubs for it.

The Rats have their priorities straight.  More pork for things they know the Republicans oppose, and refusing to budge.  Two days, two failed attempts to stop their filibuster.

I hope Republican candidates are saving recordings of their opponents opposing aid bills for political advantage so they can air them during the next election.

Not only that, they can't vote for the Rat bill. It includes ballot harvesting, where Rat operatives can get signed ballots and submit them to be counted. IOW, a Rat operative can canvas an entire neighborhood and get people to sign ballots they've already filled out and they will be counted as valid votes. If the Pubs let this through the country is done. The socialists will quickly get complete control of the govt and then they will change how elections are done so they never lose again.
