Comments from McConnell and other Washington members
Sen. McConnell is adding
- there are some differences of opinion on payroll cuts
- he will introduce a relief bill in the next few days
- it will be a starting point for negotiations with Democrats
- he does envision direct payments to Americans as part of the next coronavirus bill
- McConnell says "no" when asked if the bill would be done by next week. This runs counter to the comments from Kudlow and Mnuchin/Meadows (see comments below).
Meanwhile White House economic advisor Kudlow says:
- Thinks stimulus bill can be done by end of July
Mnuchin and Meadows say
- funding deal goal is for end of next week.
Sen. Braun is saying
- clear not large GOP support for Bill over US$1 trillion
