Bloomberg: Democrats Block Senate Economic Stimulus Bill as Talks Falter
Senate Democrats blocked Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s attempt to advance a coronavirus economic rescue package Sunday after leaders in both chambers disagreed on how to spend nearly $2 trillion.
The 47-47 vote, with 60 needed to advance the measure, puts in question McConnell’s plan for the Senate to pass the bill Monday.
Late Sunday night, McConnell set up a redo of the procedural vote for 9:45 a.m. Monday, “15 minutes after the markets open, and see if there’s a change of heart.”
