Democrats block McConnell from holding Monday morning vote on coronavirus bill
The Hill ^ | 03 22 2020 | Jordain Carney

Posted on 03/22/2020 9:27:52 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) blocked Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) attempt to set up a Monday morning vote on the stimulus package, effectively delaying the vote until the afternoon.

McConnell had vowed earlier Sunday that he would force a second procedural vote related to the stimulus package at 9:45 a.m., 15 minutes after the markets open.

But when McConnell tried to lock in that time, Schumer objected, denying the GOP leader the consent he needed to enact his plan.

Instead, the Senate will vote for a second time after they come into session at noon on Monday.

Schumer said he and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin were making “good progress.”

“I think there’s a good chance we can have an agreement,” he said, adding that Democrats were “fighting for a better bill.”

Both the dem version and the gop version spend over $1.5T in new debt.

There is not a wise person in the building.

Why are the Democrat Filibustering the Corona Virus Relief bill?

Because they want to politicize this and make sure NOTHING gets done. Then having destroyed the economy and thrown it into into a Depression, they will lying use this as a campaign issue.

If both individuals, and business, cannot pay their bills the credit crunch that will trigger will be the worst financial crisis the world has faced since the 1930s.

Remember when you vote in Nov. Democrats are stopping help TO YOU and actively trying to destroy your future so they can use your fear and need to play politics

I heard the Dow futures for tomorrow are looking very bad, so we can expect tomorrow to be another bloodbath on Wall Street.

That is right, they want to time the market on their terms for their maximum profit.

Trump and his team should do something to surprise and front run them.

It is an effort to collapse the market even further. This is their play for winning the election by screwing over millions of Americans

It's supposed to be McCuckold's job to hold the accountable.

He's a corrupt failure.

The voters won’t forgive this deliberated subversion in the middle of a national crisis. The D bosses are politically suicidal.
