McConnell Defends Keeping Democrats Out



Political Wireby Taegan Goddard

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday defended the Senate Republicans coming up with a proposed $1 trillion economic stimulus plan to battle the coronavirus without any input from Democrats, saying bipartisan negotiations were skipped in favor of speed, CNN reports.

Said McConnell: “Actually, it’s speeding it up. We just passed yesterday a bill, it was written in the Democratic House of Representatives.”

He added: “The Republicans are in the majority in the Senate. We wanted to put forward our proposal. We feel like we have an obligation to do that as a majority and the Democrats, of course, need to be given an opportunity to react to it and that all begins tomorrow. So don’t create controversy where there isn’t controversy.”
