McConnell Warns GOP Senators to Stay Healthy

NBC News: “The Republican Senate leader told members in a closed-door lunch on Tuesday to ‘be careful’ and make sure they take the necessary precautions against catching the virus.”

“McConnell’s latest admonishment comes as Senate Republicans are trying to accomplish what they can in the final weeks of Donald Trump’s lame-duck presidency, stretched thin and getting little help from a president focused on fighting the results of the election.”

“There are a lot of items on McConnell’s agenda in the final weeks of the year, including passing a government funding bill by December 11 to avoid a shut down, trying to find agreement on coronavirus aid and approving final appointments before President-elect Joe Biden takes over the White House in January.”
