Senate to Vote on House Bill Without Big Changes, McConnell Says

(Bloomberg) -- The Senate will move forward with a vote on the coronavirus-relief bill passed by the House instead of seeking to add major fiscal stimulus, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters Tuesday.

Additional proposals for the next round of economic aid will be addressed in a third-phase plan that’s currently under discussion, he said.

“The Senate will not leave town until we have processed yet another bill to address this emergency,” McConnell said.
