Although Senate Majority Leader McConnell has said that passing a stimulus bill to help those impacted by COVID-19 is his top priority, he indicated on Tuesday that he is still far apart from Congressional Democrats on the price tag of any such package. “I don't think the current situation demands a multitrillion-dollar package so I think it should be highly targeted,” McConnell said. Meanwhile, President-elect Biden signaled that he supports efforts to enact a stimulus bill during the lame duck session. President-elect Biden said he had been talking with Democratic leaders about the negotiations, adding “I support what they’re doing.”
