McConnell cancels Senate break over coronavirus

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) announced Thursday that the Senate will cancel next week’s recess to say in town to craft coronavirus legislation.

The decision comes after growing calls from within the GOP caucus to cancel the upcoming break. Senators had been scheduled to leave town for a weeklong recess as soon as Thursday afternoon.

“Notwithstanding the scheduled state work period, the Senate will be in session next week. I am glad talks are ongoing between the Administration and Speaker Pelosi,” McConnell tweeted.
