Perhaps McConnell figures Trump is a goner anyway and wants to salt the fields for an incoming Joe Biden administration. ADADI'm focusing on McConnell because so much of the commentary about the need for new stimulus has given him a pass. Why would she accept the $1.8 trillion figure, which Democrats believe is not enough, if Trump now says he wants to spend more? ADIt is indeed disgraceful that the federal government isn't doing more to help those suffering economically from the pandemic. Pelosi is trying her best to reach a stimulus agreement, but Trump is evidently incapable of making a deal.
