As Republicans work among themselves to come to an agreement, the details of the bill are still largely unknown.
WASHINGTON — Sen. Mitch McConnell on Thursday released the Republican proposal for a massive emergency coronavirus stimulus bill, which includes direct cash payments for some Americans.
Individuals making more than $99,000 would not be eligible for a direct payment. The Republican proposal also includes emergency aid for small businesses and industries such as airline companies. But much about the bill is still unknown. It is unclear who would qualify for direct payments, what the dollar amount might be and how Americans would receive the money, among other unanswered questions.
McConnell said he wanted to reach a consensus on the bill among his Republican colleagues before negotiating with Democrats. Some lawmakers have floated their own proposals, jockeying to have their priorities reflected in the final plan. Still, it hasn't kept Democrats from opening up their own dialogue with the White House. Both Pelosi and Schumer have spoken with Mnuchin multiple times in the past few days about the third coronavirus bill.
