Republican-led Coronavirus Relief Bill Fails in Senate

The Senate failed to pass a coronavirus relief bill due to partisan voting, with 52 Republicans supporting and all Democrats, except Kamala Harris, opposing. Rand Paul was the only Republican against it, citing concerns over additional spending. Chuck Schumer criticized the bill as inadequate and partisan. The proposal lacked funding for state and local governments, a key element of the Democrat-led Heroes Act. The failure suggests a relief bill may not be passed until after the election, potentially delaying aid for millions of Americans.
