April 27, 2020

Sen. Mitch McConnell

Sen. Mitch McConnell
April 23, 2020
Tweet - "Historic, tragic layoffs continue to pile up nationwide. This pandemic has erased a decade of job creation in just over one month. Democrats should never have made the Paycheck Protection Program lapse. The House must follow the Senate's lead and vote today to re-open it."

Sen. Mitch McConnell
April 21, 2020

Paycheck Protection Program
Sen. Mitch McConnell
