Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is prioritizing support for schools when it comes time for a new coronavirus relief bill.
He acknowledged the heavy emphasis on education will be “costly.” In the next package, McConnell said he is open to more direct checks but added leaders made a mistake in the last bill, which made it more attractive for people to stay home than to work.
The Kentucky Republican also expressed total faith in Doctor Anthony Fauci, who has been criticized by members of the White House.
