Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blocked a vote on a straight bill upping aid payments from $600 to $2,000 for the second time in two days on Thursday.
The Kentucky Republican harshly criticized the House-backed bill as “socialism for rich people” as he debated Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on the Senate floor, according to Fox News. McConnell has introduced his own bill that would up the aid payments to most Americans while repealing Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act and investigating election security.
