On Tuesday, McConnell continued his attacks on Democrats for attempting to push the bill through Congress without Republican contribution.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Less than 9% of Democrats&#8217; spending plan would go to directly fight COVID-19. Less than 1% to vaccinations.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t a recipe to safely reopen America. It\u2019s what Democrats promised almost a year ago: Taking advantage of the crisis to check off unrelated liberal policies.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Leader McConnell (@LeaderMcConnell) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeaderMcConnell\/status\/1366788842750115845?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 2, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He accused Democrats of taking advantage of the budget reconciliation process and trying to sidestep the Senate filibuster. McConnell also said they are trying to push proposals that are unrelated to the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, we\u2019ll be fighting this in every way that we can. It is my hope that, in the end, Senate Republicans will unanimously oppose it just like House Republicans did,\u201d McConnell stated. \u201cI think it\u2019s noteworthy to know we\u2019re in the House. The only thing bipartisan about the proposal was the opposition to it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Senators are gearing up to vote on the package, which is expected to hit the Senate floor as early as this week.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/bipartisan-group-of-lawmakers-introduce-bill-to-make-puerto-rico-a-state\/\">Bipartisan Group Of Lawmakers Introduce Bill To Make Puerto Rico A State<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 OCTOBER 06: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) spoke to reporters on October 06, 2018 in Washington, D.C.
