Pelosi to members as negotiations drag on: McConnell proposal, as written ‘is a non-starter’
NewsColony
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell filed cloture for a shell bill for the eventual phase 3 coronavirus response bill Friday afternoon, setting up a possible cloture vote late Saturday or early Sunday morning, with a vote on final passage Monday. McConnell is appears to be trying to jam a bill, but thus far Democratic Leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are not folding.
In a letter to Democratic House members Friday evening, while talks continue, Pelosi wrote that the McConnell proposal “is not at all pro-worker and puts corporations ahead of working people. As written, it is a non-starter.” She ads that House Committees are “hard at work on legislation that is truly visionary, fast-acting and evidence based” and are “also engaged in conversations with the Senate about provisions that could be added to improve the Senate bill.”
