Democratic leaders said they will reject a narrow coronavirus aid package Senate Republicans plan to introduce Tuesday, indicating a weekslong stalemate will continue.

“Senate Republicans appear dead set on another bill, which doesn’t come close to addressing the problems and is headed nowhere,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a joint statement. “If anyone doubts McConnell’s true intent is anything but political, just look at the bill. This proposal is laden with poison pills Republicans know Democrats would never support.”
