Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said a measure to lift the U.S. economy would have a more narrow scope than the $3 trillion package House Democrats approved earlier this month.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Congress will "probably" have to pass another coronavirus relief bill and will decide whether to do so in the coming weeks.
McConnell wants liability protections for businesses in the bill and suggests he could support limited relief for state and local governments. "So, in the next few weeks, we'll determine whether there is yet another bill," he told reporters in his home state on Tuesday.
