House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's failure to secure financial assistance for Planned Parenthood in a historic coronavirus relief package has her talking about a new one, according to a top Republican lawmaker.
California Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the minority leader, said it is too soon to talk about a fourth bill designed to support workers and businesses who are hurting because of restrictive social distancing measures meant to stem the spread of the virus, and suggested that Democrats are already posturing for provisions they failed to get into the last one.
"I'm not sure we need a fourth package. And before we go to start drafting a fourth package, I'd like these three packages we just put out — remember, it's more than $2 trillion, the largest we have ever seen — to take care and get this economy moving. Remember, for unemployment insurance, we're adding another $600 above what your state pays," McCarthy said on Fox News's Sunday Morning Futures.
