Schumer warns Democrats could go it alone on coronavirus relief as soon as next week
By Jordain Carney - 01/28/21 10:56 AM EST

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Thursday warned that Democrats were willing to go it alone on the next coronavirus relief package, potentially starting the process as soon as next week.

Schumer, speaking from the Senate floor, said that it was the "preference" of Democrats to work with Republicans on a sixth coronavirus relief package, but that if GOP senators wanted to move too slowly, or go smaller than Democrats think necessary, they will move more aid without GOP support. 

"The dangers of undershooting our response are far greater than overshooting ... so the Senate as early as next week will begin the process of considering a very strong COVID relief bill," Schumer said from the Senate floor.

He added that if Republicans "decide to oppose this urgent and necessary legislation, we will have to move forward without them."

Wasn't it just yesterday I was reading that the Schmuck was saying they might get to coronavirus relief in maybe a month or month and a half? The phone lines must have on fire with complaints and threats from their not so under control hell hounds BLM and Antifa.

Let them "go it alone".
They wouldn't allow anything that would substantially favor Republican interests in such a bill, anyway.
