McConnell sets up possible vote Tuesday on small-business aid package

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell set up a special pro forma Senate session Tuesday after Democrats continued to hold up a massive small-business aid package.

“At this hour, our Democratic colleagues are still prolonging their discussions with the administration, so the Senate, regretfully, will not be able to pass more funding for American paychecks today,” the Kentucky Republican said during the Senate’s Monday pro forma session. “However, since this is so urgent, I’ve asked that the Senate meet again tomorrow in a new session that was not previously scheduled.”
