'Who is intransigent?': Coronavirus aid talks going nowhere

Despite scrapping the start of the August recess, Senate lawmakers haven’t been able to revive negotiations on a new round of federal coronavirus aid and are instead using floor time for partisan criticism.

“This is not a both-sides-to-blame situation,” Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Tuesday. “Democrats are willing to compromise. Republicans are being intransigent and will not move from their position, which is totally inadequate for the needs of America at the greatest economic crisis we have had in 75 years and the greatest health crisis in 100 years.”
