Senate — And Pandemic Relief — Still Hanging In The Balance

Senate — And Pandemic Relief — Still Hanging In The Balance

November 4, 2020, Law360

Bill Wichterman spoke with Law360 about the U.S. Senate’s uncertainty and its impact on COVID-19 pandemic relief.

Mr. Wichterman says most GOP senators remain staunchly opposed to another bill with a price tag over $1 trillion, and even more so after some better-than-expected economic data from the third quarter. “I'm not sure if Trump will want to start right where the negotiations left off. There was a demonstrable lack of enthusiasm among congressional Republicans,” he adds.
