Senate GOP Grows Weary with the White House

“Frustration among many Senate Republicans, not to mention Democrats, toward the White House has hit a fever pitch, with many lawmakers — including Majority Leader Mitch McConnell — admitting they could break for the August recess without a stimulus bill,” Axios reports.

Said one congressional aide: “They came in at the back end with a ton of unrealistic requests, like zeroing out funding for testing and forcing the FBI building into the package.”

“Republican leaders privately admit that if negotiations are a failure, the White House and Republicans will take the political hit since they’re running the show.”
