US Senate stops Republican coronavirus bill – Reuters News
|Partisan battles in the US Senate on Sunday stopped a coronavirus response bill from advancing, even as negotiations continued.

- US Senate majority leader Mcconnell said that the Senate will vote again on COVID-19 bill at a time of his choosing.
