Sen. Blackburn on massive coronavirus package heading to House without GOP support
Fox News
Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., argued on Sunday that only nine percent of the Senate's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package “had anything to do with COVID,” saying the bill is “not fair to people who are truly hurting” during the pandemic.
Democrats, who have the slimmest of majorities in the Senate, were united in passing the legislation that they say will help rescue the economy and end the coronavirus pandemic that has claimed more than 520,000 lives. Republicans, including Blackburn, argue that the legislation is too big and bloated. "It’s so interesting that all the COVID relief bills that we have passed under Leader [Mitch] Mcconnell’s leadership were done in a bipartisan manner," Blackburn said on Sunday. "Every one of them got 90 votes or more."More Related News
