Is it finally infrastructure week?


I wonder who reminded him.  The Democrats were probably talking about doing something in the House.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE:  Haha, I was right...
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) hit the brakes Tuesday on Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) plan to move ahead with a fourth stimulus package that would include major infrastructure spending and other Democratic priorities.

[...]

Pelosi on Monday told reporters in a conference call that she is already looking a new round of coronavirus relief legislation and that it would likely include a major infrastructure component.

[...]

“I think we need to wait a few days here, a few weeks, and see how things are working out,” McConnell said on “The Hugh Hewitt Show.”

Maybe I haven't mentioned this lately, but....

Ditch Mitch.
“Let’s see how things are going and respond accordingly,” he added. “I’m not going to allow this to be an opportunity for the Democrats to achieve unrelated policy items that they would not otherwise be able to pass.”
Has the coronavirus eaten his brain? This has been Trump's oft-aborted plan since he was campaigning for the job he's so incapable of performing. And it looks like Trump cut McConnell off at the knees on this one.
McConnell's remarks came the same day that President Trump encouraged Congress to pass a $2 trillion infrastructure bill as the next piece of coronavirus legislation.

[...]

The GOP leader said the Senate will resume confirming Trump’s judicial nominees when it reconvenes later next month.

[...]

“We will go back to judges,” he said. “My motto for the rest of the year is leave no vacancy behind.”
Because that's so much more important than anything right now. WTF?!

DITCH MITCH.
