Mitch McConnell says a coronavirus stimulus package is 'unlikely in the next three weeks'

Congress likely will not pass another coronavirus stimulus package before the Nov. 3 election, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Friday.

The White House and Democrats have restarted last-ditch talks toward an elusive relief deal. Speaking in his home state of Kentucky, the Republican told reporters “the situation’s kind of murky” while negotiators try to “elbow for political advantage” as Americans cast their ballots.

“I’d like to see us rise above that like we did back in March and April, but I think that’s unlikely in the next three weeks,” he said.

As I suspected there is not enough time to get it done before the election or McConnel is more interested in a SCOTUS nominee. Either way Trumpy is going to go ape shit. He was hoping for a glam shot of him signing the bill just prior to the election.

Just got a fundraising email from Michael Moore saying CNN poll has Biden only up by 1 point.




I did a search of latest polls and could not find this. Is this bogus? i really dont trust this guy anymore.

Update: Its an old poll from August which he cherry picked the data. It’s garbage. Also it appears not to be from Moore directly. It’s from some org named voter protection project that used Moore’s statements and photo.
