McConnell says Congress will take up stimulus package at start of 2021
By Alexander Bolton - 10/30/20 03:07 PM EDT

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) says he expects Congress to move another coronavirus relief package “right at the beginning” of 2021, breaking from Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who told reporters Thursday she wants to get a deal in the lame-duck session.

“We probably need to do another package, certainly more modest than the $3 trillion Nancy Pelosi package. I think that’ll be something we’ll need to do right at the beginning of the year,” McConnell told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt on Friday.

“We could target it particularly at small businesses that are struggling, and hospitals that are now dealing with the second wave of the coronavirus, and of course the challenges for education, both K-12 and college,” the GOP leader said.


McConnell offered a slower timeline than other lawmakers, who expect a deal to move after the election but before the end of the year or before the end of President Trump’s first term in January.

News flash when the year 2525 ends, we can expect a long awaited stimulus bill package to pass, except unless if this or that or the other thing happens, then as usual, probably not.  Oh and, YOU CAN BELIEVE IT THIS TIME (rubber stamp.)
