Oct. 21, 2020 Tweet - "Hard to believe that Senate Democrats just voted AGAIN to block COVID relief. There are Americans who can't feed their families because of the economic side effects of COVID-19 shutdowns, yet Democrats still refuse to act unless GOP allows 2.4 trillion in irresponsible spending." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 20, 2020 Tweet - "Why haven't we passed more COVID relief? Let's boil this down, because it's pretty simple. Dems are sabotaging negotiations & holding relief hostage over blue-state bailouts.

Oct. 12, 2020 Tweet - "Watching today's hearing, you would've thought it was a floor debate on health care.

John Thune
