Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell
Addison (Mitch) Mitchell McConnell Ron Johnson grinds the Senate to a halt, and irritates Klain a lot about Harris breaking the bond: ‘Every time she votes, we win’ How to pass Senate legislation without eliminating the filibuster (R-Ky.) Made a failed bid Friday to adjourn the Senate and halt the debate on the Democratic coronavirus bill until Saturday.
McConnell’s move came after the Senate sat in limbo for nearly 12 hours Friday as Democrats tried to work out a deal that could win all 50 members of their caucus.
“They want to start with the mood-a-rama that could be done in broad daylight due to their own confusion and the challenges of getting 50 people together to agree on something if they could do it faster on a dual basis,” he said. McConnell said. “Instead of voting for five minutes to 11, I start to adjourn to 10 hours.”
But the Democrats were able to vote the effort. In addition to controlling the majority, because Vice President Harris can break a tie, Republicans also had a short vote because Sen. Dan Sullivan

Despite opposition from McConnell, the Senate’s majority leader Charles Schumer
Chuck Schumer Ron Johnson is forcing the reading of a 628-page bill to alleviate the coronavirus on the floor of the Senate panel at party level over the ambitious agenda of the Becerra House Democrats, which will end up more in the Senate’s blockade. (DN.Y.) promises that the Senate will apply Friday night and probably until Saturday morning to ease the bill on nearly $ 1.9 billion coronavirus.
