The House is slated to vote Thursday on an economic stimulus bill in response to the coronavirus. But it's unclear how Senate Republicans will vote.
Even as bipartisan talks continue over how Congress can respond to the economic fallout from the coronavirus, House Democrats said they plan to pass a bill as soon as Thursday that includes enhanced unemployment benefits, paid sick leave and a boost in the availability of food stamps — but without the big payroll tax cut President Trump wants.The bill, which is likely to serve as an opening position in the bipartisan talks, is expected to hew closely to what Democrats have already outlined.
If it has the White House’s support, the Republican-controlled Senate may take up the bill with possible alterations or additions and quickly approve it. But given the few details surrounding the policy, few lawmakers on Capitol Hill on Wednesday were willing to predict how quickly it might move.Rep. Tom Cole said the competing ideas — the White House has proposed a payroll tax cut that Congress quickly shot down — will merely slow down bipartisan talks.
Trump’s proposal to enact a payroll tax holiday to boost consumers’ paychecks has been all but ruled out by Democrats and Republicans in Congress in the short term. But Trump indicated he’d still like to see it in a bill. “I’m just now coming to the conclusion that I think this place ought to be shut down,” Feinstein, 86, said in a brief interview in the Capitol. “It’s serious and it’s increasing,” she said of the number of confirmed cases.
