The feud over the next congressional response to the coronavirus is running long
After the Senate adjourned with no action on Monday, it became clear that a slugfest between Democratic and Republican leaders will bleed into its second week over how to deliver the next tranche of economic stimulus. A continued deadlock is untenable: A popular small business program is set to run out of funds as soon as the end of the week and governors are begging for more money.But neither party seems ready to buckle.
The negotiations are complicated by Congress' unusual posture amid the coronavirus crisis, with lawmakers from both houses working from their home states and not scheduled to return to Washington until April 20. Both chambers have been operating in pro forma skeleton sessions, that allow only a single lawmaker to derail everything. Republican aides said conservatives will reject any spending beyond the Paycheck Protection Program; the next Senate pro forma session is Thursday.
