Senate Goes On Recess As Virus Relief Talks Reach Stalemate

Negotiations for a new coronavirus relief package have stalled in Congress. The Senate, led by Mitch McConnell, remains in session to allow more time for a deal, while the House is on recess until September 14th. The main disagreement is over the package's total amount, with Democrats initially seeking over $3 trillion, later reducing to $2 trillion, and Republicans proposing $1 trillion. If a deal is reached, lawmakers will have 24 hours to return to DC for a vote.
