Discussing a deal on a relief package, Democrat Senator Richard Blumenthal warned that “given the gap” there is no indication Democrats will reach common ground with Republicans.
“I have no tolerance for delay, no patience with drastic cuts. And I think Congress needs to press ahead,” Blumenthal says, suggesting Democrats may move forward via reconciliation and without GOP support needed.
