BREAKING: The president just pulled the plug on COVID relief negotiations until after the election. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1313551795646541824

Even if the president is re-elected, and if Republicans hold the Senate, AND if they take the House - the new congress isn't seated until January. If this holds, COVID relief/stimulus is now a long, long way off for Americans.

Setting aside the millions & millions of Americans who are desperate for some kind of help from their government right now, this feels like political malpractice. Opposition party is trying to give you TRILLIONS that would prop up economy in last month of election... & you walk?

One other thought: the President is probably tossing incumbent Senators Collins, Gardner, Tillis & McSally into the proverbial volcano here. Maybe others. Running on judicial appointments unlikely to get the job done with country desperate for more economic help.
