Mitch McConnell on the need for CARES Act, round 2

The Senate goes back in session next Monday.  Hopefully the partisan passions that prevented us from doing another rescue package will subside with the election.  I think we need to do it and we need to do it before the end of the year.

(McConnell expressed some openness about including aid for struggling state and local governments in a new package, calling it “a possibility.” Senate Republicans had previously balked at more aid on top of $150 billion in March’s CARES Act, while House Democrats wanted more than $400 billion in new money.)
