US Lawmakers Urge to Pass a New Stimulus Package Soon
U.S. lawmakers have continually been discussing the next stimulus package to better Americans cope with the coronavirus pandemic-led economic crisis. Americans have been waiting for the second close of $1,200 stimulus checks after the first round was approved as part of the CARES Act.

Mnuchin responded by announcing a response letter to Pelosi on the same day. “I woke up this morning and read your letter to me in the press. Because you sent it to my role at midnight and simultaneously released it to the press, I can unfortunately only conclude that it is a political stunt,” he wrote. The treasury secretary proceeded to framework the discussions and disagreements he has been having with Pelosi. He also tweeted that Pelosi’s “all or none approach is hurting hard-working Americans who paucity help now.”
Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is less optimistic than Trump or Pelosi hither when the next stimulus package will be approved. He told radio host Hugh Hewitt on Friday:
