Where is your concern about being unAmerican and wanting people dead now?
Swift Senate action on a mammoth $2 trillion rescue package hit a speed bump Wednesday amid opposition from a small group of GOP senators, throwing up a last-minute hurdle as congressional leaders rush to finalize the bipartisan deal.
Senate leaders were hoping to vote Wednesday afternoon on the legislation, which will deliver much-needed emergency aid to nearly every sector across the U.S., including $1,200 checks to many Americans. But that timeline continued to slip as the day dragged into the evening with Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) and Rick Scott (R-Fla.) opposing speedy consideration of the measure over concerns it would encourage employees to be laid off instead of working.
