The top Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives called for a pause in coronavirus legislation on Thursday, saying Congress should first assess the impact of earlier relief bills and then take a slower path forward through committee hearings.
“Before we move to the next bill, let’s make sure the $3 trillion that we had legislated and appropriated gets implemented and gets implemented correctly,” House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy told reporters.
“Let’s get states opened back up … and then deal with any legislation in the future by committees, with hearings, with mark-ups and with knowledge. I think that’s the best approach we can take,” he said.
