Connecticut’s two Democratic U.S. senators have joined the call for Senate Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to schedule a vote on the $2,000 stimulus checks. McConnell has blocked a Democratic attempt to pass the bill by unanimous consent.
Connecticut’s senior U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal said McConnell is the stumbling block to getting Americans bigger COVID-19 stimulus checks.
“Two thousand dollars are waiting to be sent if only the United State Senate will vote. Give us the vote Senator McConnell. Put Republicans on record. It can be done tomorrow, literally,” Blumenthal said.
Blumenthal spoke in Hartford before heading to Washington for the Senate session. Connecticut’s junior U.S. Senator, Chris Murphy, spoke on the Senate floor. He took on the entire Republican caucus.
