Senate Democrats blocked a coronavirus package on Sunday that would have provided billions of dollars in financial relief to businesses and Americans who have been hit hard by the outbreak.
The $1.6 trillion package was blocked by a vote of 47 for and 47 against, which was 13 votes short of the 60 needed for it to pass.
A furious Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) took to the Senate floor Sunday night and blasted Democrats Sunday night, telling them it was no time to "play games" with the economy and blaming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for slowing negotiations.
"I want everybody to fully understand if we aren’t able to act tomorrow, it will be because of our colleagues on the other side continuing to dicker when the country expects us to come together and address the problem," McConnell sad.
