Washington's Covid-19 Massive Economic Stimulus Bill Stalled In The U.S. Senate

Daily Mail: BREAKING NEWS: Coronavirus bailout stalls AGAIN in deadlocked Senate as Republicans and Democrats collapse into partisan bickering and Nancy Pelosi unveils her own rival House bill

* Democrats were able to block the GOP-backed phase three economic stimulus bill for the second time in two days
* Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Monday that after long negotiations, the two sides were able to agree on a coronavirus relief bill
* McConnell and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, however, shared sharp words for the opposing Party during Senate-floor statements
* Nancy Pelosi revealed Monday that she is unveiling her own counter proposal
* McConnell charged Democrats with trying to get their 'wish list' of unrelated measures passed in the phase three economic stimulus bill
* He claims they blocked the bill Sunday night, and now Monday afternoon, because they wanted to get parts of the Green New Deal passed with the bill
* 'Every time we hear the Majority Leader come out it's a partisan screed,' Chuck Schumer shot back at McConnell
* Instead, he insisted that Democrats are 'trying to get things done'
* The bill failed for a second time as some Republican senators cannot show up for the vote as they self-isolate over fears of contracting or spreading coronavirus

Democrats blocked the phase three coronavirus economic stimulus package again on Monday, even though Republicans claimed ahead of the vote that they were proposing a bipartisan bill.

Senators voted 49-46 Monday afternoon on the nearly $2 trillion stimulus bill – with a few 'aye' votes missing as five Republican senators self-quarantine over coronavirus fears.

Although Democrats and Republicans have spent days negotiating this package, talks dissolved on the Senate floor Monday as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer blamed each other for holding up the relief.

As the bipartisan effort in Congress continues to crumble, House Speaker Nancy

Pelosi is preparing to bring to the House floor her own phase three package.
