The GOP’s Big Bet on the Economy

“The United States officially is in a recession. But Senate Republicans are still in no rush to dole out more coronavirus relief,” Politico reports.

“Buoyed by a surprisingly strong jobs report last week and the knowledge that some of Congress’ $2 trillion March spending package still hasn’t been spent, the Senate GOP remains noncommittal on both the timing and substance of the next piece of legislation. Bipartisan talks still haven’t begun in earnest, according to senators and aides, and the White House and senior Republican senators say they won’t start until July.”
