Politician
July 30, 2020
Tweet - "There's a fact of life here in the United States Senate: It takes 60 votes to legislate. So the American people cannot get any of the additional relief that Republicans want to give them unless Democrats will come to the table."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 30, 2020

July 29, 2020
Tweet - "The coronavirus does not care that we are divided. The coronavirus will not care if Washington Democrats decide it suits their partisan goals to let relief run dry. The American people are hurting and Congress should have their backs."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 29, 2020
Tweet - "The historic CARES Act has helped families endure this crisis. But our nation is not done with this fight. More Americans are dying. Millions are unemployed. Added federal unemployment benefits are close to expiring. Democrats need to get serious and come to the table."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 28, 2020
McConnell on CNBC's "Closing Bell"
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 28, 2020
Tweet - "I joined @CNBC to discuss Senate Republican's HEALS Act. The pandemic is not finished. The economic pain is not finished. So Congress cannot be finished either. Republicans are ready to govern. We just need Democrats to decide whether they are serious about making law."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 28, 2020
Tweet - "Our nation stands at a challenging crossroads. We have one foot in this pandemic and one foot in the recovery. What the American people need is a smart, safe, and sustainable middle ground. They need Congress's help to construct it. That's exactly what the HEALS Act would do."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 28, 2020
Heals Act
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 28, 2020
Tweet - "Our Democratic colleagues want to pretend it is controversial that taxpayers should not pay people more not to work than the people who do go back to work. The American people don't call that a controversy. They call that common sense. They call that basic fairness."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 28, 2020
Tweet - "Tune in now to @CNBC . I am joining @kaylatausche ~3:05 PM ET to discuss Senate Republicans' HEALS Act -- our framework for another round of historic relief to American workers and families."

Rep. Andy Barr, ...
July 27, 2020
Tweet - "Republicans have created a serious framework. The question is whether Democrats will come to the table in good faith. In March, when they did, we passed the CARES Act unanimously. In June, when they didn't, police reform collapsed. It will take bipartisanship to make law."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 26, 2020
Tweet - "This terrible virus is still with us and America's fight continues. Across the country, by taking commonsense steps -- like wearing a mask and practicing social distancing -- we'll get through this together."
