US Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has made it clear he isn't fond of the most recent $2.2 trillion Democratic stimulus plan. On Wednesday, Business Insider reports McConnell called it 'outlandish,' saying 'We're very, very far apart on a deal.' The plan included restoring the $600 federal unemployment benefit until January, another round of $1,200 direct payments to taxpayers. Sen. McConnell tore into the Democratic proposal, calling it a 'stunt,' and accused Democrats of 'refusing to get serious.' Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi met for 90 minutes on Thursday to discuss a possible compromise.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump was repeatedly interrupted by protesters as he tried to outline policy proposals during a campaign rally in Detroit on Monday. Trump's speech focused on economics and taxes, with the candidate vowing to reduce taxes from 35 percent to 15 percent.
