In his own words:
“it’s because she didn’t get in the things that she really wanted to change the election law; a Green New Deal, make us pay for Planned Parenthood, and expand what you’re seeing for sanctuary cities.”
McCarthy also explained that delays with passing the latest COVID-19 relief bill pertained to Democrats trying to squeeze in the aforementioned measures. The House Minority Leader’s statements come days after him criticizing Pelosi for alleging that Democrats did a “jiu-jitsu” to make changes for working families. According to McCarthy, 99% of the current stimulus plan remains what it was on March 22, 2020.
Will Democrats Manage to Obtain a Fourth Stimulus Plan?
At this time, the likelihood of Democrats getting a fourth stimulus plan appears low. For one thing, there are already relief measures in effect. Secondly, Republicans are not supportive of leftist measures that Democrats seek to include in another coronavirus relief package.
Since the inception of aid provision, Republicans maintained that COVID-19 bills must strictly pertain to economic relief, not partisan wins. Thus far, there is nothing indicating that Democrats and the GOP are aligned on a fourth stimulus plan.
