WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said on Thursday another stimulus package to deal with the impact of the coronavirus was “not too far off.”
“I think there is a high likelihood we will do another rescue package,” McConnell told Fox News Channel in an interview.
“But we need to be able to measure the impact of what we’ve already done, what we did right, what we did wrong … We’re not quite ready to intelligently lay down the next step, but it’s not too far off.”
