McConnell blasts COVID relief bill as 'wildly out of proportion' with America's needs
Fox News
The $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package passed by the House is "a wildly out-of-proportion response to where the country is at the moment," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told "The Story" Wednesday.
McConnell added that money from previous aid bills still has not been spent and noted that "vaccines are going out, the economies are opening up," making it hard to justify the size of the bill. Despite his criticism, McConnell said he suspected the bill would narrowly pass the Senate, with moderate Democrat Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona supporting it and Vice President Kamala Harris potential breaking a 50-50 tie.More Related News
