Just like Trump's description of coronavirus testing: one day it's negative, and the next it's positive.Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Thursday that Congress would likely need to pass a fifth coronavirus relief bill, but declined to give a timeline for additional legislation.
McConnell, during a Fox News interview, said he did "anticipate" that Congress will need to "act again at some point" but that Republicans first wanted to review the roughly $2.8 trillion already appropriated by Congress.
"I'm certainly not ruling out another fiscal package. And I would say the chairman of the Fed and I and the administration are not necessarily in different places," McConnell said, referring to comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell who said more spending could be "costly but worth it."
McConnell hadn't ruled out additional legislation but he told reporters [two days] earlier this week that he did not yet believe that it was needed.
"I don’t think we have yet felt the urgency of acting immediately. That time could develop, but I don’t think it has yet," McConnell added.
