“It is unacceptable that the Senate would recess without addressing this urgent issue.”
Pelosi and Schumer said state and local governments are struggling to cover essential services like schools without additional aid, and Americans are continuing to face the burden of rent payments and evictions; in the meantime, they said, “Senate Republicans have been missing in action.”
McConnell has indicated that talks will not resume until after the Senate’s two-week Fourth of July recess. Senate Republicans have argued that much of the aid authorized by the CARES Act in March has not yet been distributed, and many are in favor of waiting to see how that spending shakes out before passing another bill.
In May, the Democratic-led House of Representatives passed the Heroes Act, a $3 trillion rescue bill, but GOP leaders have said that legislation will be dead on arrival in the Senate.that another “generous” bipartisan stimulus bill would be announced “in the next couple of weeks.”The extra $600 per week in federal unemployment benefits authorized by the CARES Act will run out on July 31.
