Coronavirus-stimulus efforts pick up speed

Live Mint  

Democratic leaders signaled Wednesday they were prepared to reduce their demands for the next round of coronavirus relief, fueling hopes that an agreement could be reached with Republicans by year’s end to boost struggling businesses and households. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell didn’t comment on the Democratic leaders’ statement, but he said earlier in the day that they were showing “a new willingness to engage in good faith." On the Senate floor Wednesday, Mr. Schumer said Mr. McConnell “should not waste the Senate’s time on another inadequate, partisan proposal, and instead should sit down with Democrats to begin a true, bipartisan effort to quickly meet the needs of the country." Some Democrats who weren’t part of crafting the bipartisan proposal signaled support for it, including Sen. Chris Murphy Shortly after being sworn in Wednesday, new Sen. Mark Kelly said relief shouldn’t wait until next year. “Finally, this week we’re seeing cracks starting to form in the Democratic leaders’ stonewall," he said Wednesday morning Mr. McConnell on Tuesday had released the other Republican proposal.
