Senate to Begin Work on COVID Relief "As Early As Next Week," Majority Leader Schumer Says

Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announces in floor remarks that the Senate will begin work on COVID relief "as early as next week" and warns that Congress cannot be "too timid" in how it responds to the economic crisis brought about by the pandemic. The majority leader also criticizes the delay in confirming Homeland Security Secretary nominee Alejandro Mayorkas, and accuses Republicans of forcing the Senate "to jump through as series of procedural hoops" to get him confirmed. close
