(CNN) – Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has launched a project to increase US direct payments to US $ 2,000 in the package, which is likely to close the door to some final approval before the end of the Congress. week.
McConnell directs the Senate to attack the Camera’s approved project, specifically on the subject of the incumbent mayors and parishes that will be eligible to receive some of the debits paid and the structure of the one will be eliminated.
The Kentucky Republican says that the House of Representatives’ bill “does not have a realist truck to approve the Senate” and that the leaders led by Democrats disagree with what President Donald Trump repeatedly said. to the Republicans in order to approve the increased assessment controls, in fact.
“The Senate will not be intimidated into exposing more money to the rich friends of Democrats who do not need help,” McConnell said.
Senate Democrat leader Chuck Schumer, who called for the media to vote, criticized McConnell’s position and pressured Republicans to put the project to the vote.
“At the very least, the Senate recognizes the opportunity to vote in favor or against,” Schumer said, adding that “there is no other decision than the Camera’s project.”
Trump’s priorities, says McConnell
Pero McConnell also made it clear that no advancement in this chamber would include the other Trump priorities: a total derogation from online liability protections and an investigation into electoral fraud.
“The Senate did not divide the three themes that President Trump won,” McConnell said in the Senate plenum.
McConnell, March, presented legislation that combines Trump’s three priorities, each of which is a required preview for the Trump company of guest packages and aids in covid-19 principles this week. Trump’s proposal has never specified that these three elements are debating.
Pero McConnell, in his statements on Wednesday, clarified that the introduction of his legislation complied with the agreements of agreement with Trump, which stipulates only to start the process to vote on the topics.
As it stands at present, there are no scheduled programs on McConnell’s project, the legislation passed by the Chamber of Deputies, and the assistants of the Republican Party say that it is probable that the 116th Congress will have no action to increase the payoffs. boards.
The Kentucky Republican abridged his comments in plenary on Wednesday, urging Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders to withdraw Trump’s veto vote on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA for his English flags).
“It is to be expected that the Senate will end the legislation that will ensure critical, training and support for the United States’ armed forces,” he said. “The Vermont junior senator has ten other ideas.”
McConnell added: “The Senate is taking part in this important project, which we have completed, from one form to another.”
Sanders said he would withdraw the NDAA’s cancellation vote unless McConnell placed a check for US $ 2,000 on a sale. A final vote on extenders has been extended until Sanders continues. Eventually, pass. It is only a question of how long it will be late.
