McConnell: Talking about fifth coronavirus bill 'in the next month or so'
By Jordain Carney - 05/26/20 11:20 AM EDT
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on Tuesday that there would "likely" be a fifth coronavirus relief bill "in the next month or so."
"Many of you are asking, what next? I think there's likely to be another bill. It will not be the $3 trillion bill the House passed the other day. But there's still a likelihood that more will be needed," McConnell said during an event at a hospital in Louisville, Ky.
"In the next month or so we'll be talking about possibly another bill," McConnell added about "what may lay ahead" for Congress's response to the coronavirus, which has sparked steep economic damage since March.
McConnell's comments come as the Senate is in the middle of a one-week Memorial Day break.
