Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is prepared to end the impasse on Capitol Hill.
However, his solution leaves much to be desired for many congressional Republicans. (Fox News)
“A number of my members think there were considerable shortcomings in the House bill. My counsel to them it is to gag and vote for it anyway,” McConnell said Tuesday after lunching with his fellow Republicans.
The Senate will take up the House bill beginning Tuesday and then move immediately to crafting bigger legislation to stimulate the economy that will need 60 votes to pass the upper chamber.
McConnell said the Senate won’t recess until another bill is passed.
“We’re going to move here in warp speed for the Senate, which almost never does anything quickly,” McConnell said.
McConnell reiterated that the Senate is committed to helping all 320 million Americans get through this pandemic as easily as possible.

Fight Back Against President Obama [ACT NOW]
I just hope the democrats lose the hatred they have for our president and learn to be bipartisan, i don’t have much faith they will, but still hope for it. May god be with everyone globally at this time and may he guide he guide the scientist when dealing with a cure
you are dreaming the last bill that they sent from the house to the senate pelosi tried to put money in it to go to abortion clinics and they are not going to quit stuff like that
Does this bill that Mr. McConnell has asked his colleagues to endorse contain the abortion language?
It should include the Hyde amendment which prohibits the use of tax dollars for abortions. This has been used since the SCOTUS changed the Constitution essentially granting permission to kill children.
if it does,stick it up peloskis a@!.
You are correct and if this Bill has all of the Pork that Piglosi tried to push through, then it should be soundly defeated. The President has already declared a State Of Emergency due to the virus and that gives him the authority he needs to spend whatever he needs to get us through this trying time. Mitch has got to go! Replace him with a real Conservative!
Really?!? What Mitch McConnel & tRump have planned on passing is as much as THREE trillion $ “tax break” for the fossil fuel and HOTEL industries! You OK with that?!?
Bold face lies are not welcome!
Where is that included in the bill, or is it an amendment?
Not all of that money has been spent, yet, if the situation ended tomorrow, the remaining funds do not go back to the treasury. Pelosi’s additional funds are to be considered already theirs and to be used for special political programs of the liberal kind…. a bridge to nowhere, an airport where one isn’t needed, planned parenthood, overseas travels, etc.
the democrats are all about power… they will fight Donald Trump the whole way. and do ANYTHING TO TAKE THE POWER away from a man who is trying his level best to better our country.. the pockets are very deep for the democrats and they have a system that keeps them in money and power and they are not going to give up easily… the American people will suffer their wrath first.
Well said!! The “gas lighting” that the libs do is SO apparent. All they spew is the negatives!
God gave us Donald J. Trump because even he can’t stand the Demoncraps. If we’re going to pray then pray for them to be thrown out of office and remain out for 100 years.
I just hope God doesn’t run out of blessings before November 2024
God never runs out of blessings.
And their hatred for all who support President Trump and conservative values.
Democraps eat shit.
don’t hold your breath
We wouldn’t have the virus here if it wasn’t for the DamnOCrat that “Rescued” over 1,700 Americans from China! AFTER Trump forbid it! Some Dem in the government decided to ignore TRumps order and bring them back, without quarintening them.
Isn’t that what they did all during Obama’s presidency for 8 years and now look at the consequences….
You’re out of your mind!! Name one thing the Republicans did to Obama that compares to
Russia,Russia Russia
The Kavanaugh inquisition
The Ukraine investigation
The failed impeachment
Now with tens of thousands of lives at stake you compare Republicans to Democrats.
You lady are insane!!!
Ya left off Marxine’s inciting violence, the Bern-out Bros. threatening of killing and burnings….Hollywood’s mutes, spewing what is NOT in their scripts…
Nope, she’s just a graduate of our ‘Public Schools”, totally indoctrinated just like the Nazi’s did.
Time to give it a rest with the “look over here” deflections, Cheryl! The weak Mr. Obama would have run out of the White House screaming if he had faced even a fraction of the blockades and hate-prompted temper tantrums by the Republicans, that our great President has faced with the vacuous, hysterical, petulant liberal Democrats!! And if you can’t see that, you’ve been asleep at the wheel the past few years!
Carl Peterson, your right on !!! Ms .Cheryl’s should compare Obama’s accomplishments to Presidents Trumps accomplishments compared to Obama’s 8 years to Trumps three years. Pathetic ! She is a victim of fake news and brainwashing !!!
Right on!
Carol,
. . . . barrackie the muslim was never the President. He was an enemy combatant that occupied our White House. He tried to destroy our country.
America: Love it or Leave it!
GOD Bless and GOD Help us,
rich!
Your so right and I never considered or called a President. Could not have said it any better.
Barack Obama was NOT held accountable for anything he did and he had free reign on whatever he wanted to do . Republicans political and voters never behaved like the complete morons that the Dem party represents
The senate needs to stop caving to the house and do what’s right for our country!!!
Agreed! Time to take a stand! Send the bill back to the House with all the BS REMOVED!
No one impeached Obama the media didn’t rally to attack Obama . And in this current crisis the media is blaming the president for the virus it’s self. So I would say it’s a far Cry from what was done to Obama.
What shifty stuff is hidden in the bill? This reminds me of the ‘affordable care act’ pass it and read it later. Unfortunately, the self-serving members of both Congress and the Senate are known for including things in funding bills that are not the main intent of the legislation and in fact, undermine other objectives (for example; increasing funding for abortion when there has been a move to reduce it). Does the public really know what is involved and what it is going to cost us in new entitlements in future?
The senate need to start working for the people who voted them in office. Stop caving to the liberal house
Mitch is dead wrong. Sentaors have an obligation to review the evil Bill from the House. There are so many hidden provisions for the Democrats who could not get them through otherwise. I say vote down this Bill. No Bill is needed at all. Let’s stop catering to the One World Gloablists and their satanic allies like Romney, Pelosi, Garcetti, newsom, Cuomo, Schumer, Ilhan, AOC, on and on. The cast of evil characters in Congress is unacceptable. Stop making this so-called probloem a national emergency too. The true facts are there is an exceeedingly low percentage of people who succumb to this problem. The regular flu and other communicable diseases have not gone away so why6 are we not getting help for this. The old adage about never letting a crisis go by is more than indeicative with this so called pandemic.
Yep….
the democrats are all about power… they will fight Donald Trump the whole way. and do ANYTHING TO TAKE THE POWER away from a man who is trying his level best to better our country.. the pockets are very deep for the democrats and they have a system that keeps them in money and power and they are not going to give up easily… the American people will suffer their wrath first.
Vote OUT all democRATS in November!!!!
I agree with never refering to Barack as a President. He certainly wasn’t one to represent our Great Nation. Certainly not a president and Joe Biden keeps mentioning his name.Wish he would shut up.
I heard Trump tell Nancy he would replace her. Can he have authority to rid of more than Nancy? I sure wish it would happen.
Schumer, Nadler, Comey, Barack, Hillary and a few others.
Heard Barr his it almost set up to jail Barack, hoping that is true.
Last if you haven’t heard, sure it was Soro”s has now sent another Caravan of illegals to head for US borders. That rat fink needs to be get the virus and end him. God forbid hope I don’t live to regret that.
Poor Trump on top of all this, Soro’s adding another problem.
How much can this man take?
McConnell is such a loser and that cannot be abided in this national emergency – Trump will veto the bill if it does not have what Mnuchin, as envoy for the President to the House, needs to protect this nation – McConnell said at first that let’s just vote for it and we can always change it later but Trump will not let that happen, he will sideswipe Nance the Ripper into another galaxy.
AMEND the bloody bill and send it back to House with “orders” to remove abortion funding, or any other unwarranted PORK!!
Any Moron can clearly see the Do Nothing Democrats are out for NO ONE but them selves . Any one Voting for The Democrat party is crazy and NOT very well informed. A 5th Grader know better . The Democrats have been attacking TRUMP 24/7 Nothing Less. If They would just spend Just 1/2 the time working with TRUMP we would all be much better off , Better build the wall take back your country and VOTE for TRUMP or you will all pay dearly my friend.
Reliable health officials have stated that 10,000 people have died in the US from the flu this flu season. Not one word from the fake media over that! But for only 400+ deaths, they go berserk trying to pin all the blame on President Trump. Get a Grip! Wash your hands frequently, don’t mingle in crowds, take reasonable precautions. We will all get through this.
Joe,
. . . . It is closer to 30,000. More people die from the flu each year than all of the Covid-19 cases combined.
America: Love it or Leave it!
GOD Bless and GOD Help us,
rich!
The republicans better read that entire bill before they vote and pull out any of the sneaky bullshit that has nothing to do with this virus. I almost suspect the whole situation is a scam. Conveniently arranged by our “friends” in China with the help of the dopocrats. These people worry about revolution for good reason. “We the People” are getting fed up with all the bullshit.
I’m afraid that the republicans help the DemRats include the garbage. We have no representation.
It probably has so much crap in it that doesn’t have anything to do with Conronavirus.
We do know the Democrats attached Christmas decorations to the bill. Give me a break!
The Covid-19 is not a Pandemic. The annual flu is a Pandemic. The Covid-19 is a blip on the radar. Please quit calling it a Pandemic for that is a lie. More people die from the flu every year than all of the Covid-19 cases world wide.
America: Love it or Leave it!
GOD Bless and GOD Help us,
rich!
As usual, Mitch is willing to surrender to the Democommies with our money as tribute.
Is McConnell saying gag and vote WITHOUT taking Pelosi’s slip shot wasted money out for abortions? If not, I say SEND IT BACK to the house and tell McConnell to get a pair!!!!
McConnell and Pelosi will be clinking champagne glasses together after they shovel this load of crap on to the masses of sheeple.
McConnell: Excuse my French, but, bull shit. The virus is already here and it is not killing as many as the yearly flue of 2020 has already taken. So tell us what the crap is in the bill, say no to it, and remove it, and if the House doesn’t want to pass it, than yell like hell what the House is deliberately doing. Get a damn pair, you are a man and aren’t the other republicans in Congress men with each a pair.
McConnell is a brow beaten coward who will NOT come back and fight for the people who Elected him. He caved, the left won, that’s that.
The absolute worst thing I can think of to call someone is a “politician”. McConnell and his boy toy John Cornyn are BOTH politicians, and I have nothing but contempt for both, and MOST of the 535 on “The Hill”.
There are exceptions, of course. Our President is one, and I Thank GOD for his Courage to stand up for and Serve this Nation.
The “left”? I cannot discuss them in Polite Society. The words TREASON and TRAITOR come heavily into play pretty much every time I’m cornered into a political discussion with the loonies on the political left.
There should be ONLY Coronavirus spending in this bill. We need to see what these creeps are trying to push thru. Hold your nose and vote for it? NO. We ALL need to know what is in it and who is trying to take advantage of this crisis.
Tom, my feelings exactly! I don’t wish to see “pork” in this bill. We’ve got to get a grip on this virus….
Get government out of the way and we will do just fine. Wasting billions of dollars on “combating” this virus won’t change a thing. It will blow over like all other strains of flu. All the politicians want is a bill they can stuff with expensive goodies like a Christmas sock.
Obama was in power when the SWINE FLU hit the world in 2009. Almost 500,000 people died from it; in the US we lost approx. 14,500 citizens. You never saw this type of HYPE and INSANITY going on. If you think the DEEP STATE/ DEMOCRATS aren’t behind this craziness; then you are crazy.
So far we have lost less than 100 people –nothing to get all crazy about–let it run it’s course! FYI, according to a doctor from Johns Hopkins U.–this has been in the US since early OCT. 2019; plus Coronavirus has been around since 8000 BCE actually –just sayin’. Me-Just washing my hands as always and getting plenty of rest/good food. CAO!
Funding Planned Parenthood abortions has nothing to do with the Virus and stimulating the economy. Dump that part of the bill.
Why do the conservatives always have to “gag and vote” for liberal BS bills? Do the DIMMS ever do that? No, they hold out and even shut down the government to get their money for Margaret Sanger’s “Murder Inc.
Nuke China Vote Trump 2020 Dems eat doodoo
Look at what was put in the bill. Bullshit.
