Rob Portman: “I will yield. Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, beyond what the Senator is…”

On the recordMarch 23, 2020

I will yield. Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, beyond what the Senator is accurately pointing out, they put us in the following procedural position. By refusing to jump over some of these procedural steps along the way--it would not disadvantage their negotiating one bit--they have put us in a position where one Senator 1 of 100--1--could keep us here until Friday or Saturday. Our constituents are saying to act now--as the Senator from Ohio was pointing out--minus procedural roadblocks in a time of national emergency.
