BREAKING: Bipartisan talks on a third economic stimulus package to address the novel coronavirus crisis break down, leaving the outcome uncertain, and it appears all but certain that both chambers will not have a bill to send to Trump's desk by Monday.
When asked why just moments later, she said,"We are still talking. It's on the Senate side now, because that's their deadline for a vote. But we'll be introducing our own bill, and hopefully it'll; be compatible with what they discussed in the Senate."
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell hosted Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy, and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin in his office to discuss the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, March 22, 2020. "I think it's safe to say we're very close," said McConnell, adding emphatically,"But make no mistake about it, we'll be voting tomorrow. I mean the wheel has to stop at some point."
"Now we're at a point in the discussion where people will shortly have to say yes or no. And I'm confident given a desire of the country to see an outcome that we'll get to yes," McConnell added.One change that has been agreed to on a bipartisan basis was the elimination of a phase-in for those $1,200 checks to Americans, a provision pushed by Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo.
