McConnell urges WH not to pass aid before election

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell revealed his concerns in a warning manner for the White House not to proceed with a big stimulus deal prior to the election, according to the Washington Post’s report released on Tuesday. The senator questioned the good faith of the House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, concerning her negotiation with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, suggesting that any reached deal could disrupt the Senate’s plans to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court next week. The market had reacted positively to Pelosi’s and McConnell’s revelation that both Republicans and Democrats have teamed up to work out the differences and deliver additional stimulus before November 3.
