Stimulus Plans Sidelined as Georgia Senate Runoffs Draw Focus, Says GOP Rep

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Tom Reed (R-NY) has suggested that the focus on Georgia's runoff Senate races is drawing lawmakers' focus from pushing through a further COVID-19 relief package.

It has been eight months since the CARES Act was passed by the Senate, with an ongoing stalemate over the contents of a fresh stimulus bill.

Though lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have agreed a need for more action to be taken, disagreements over the details of this—and the amount to be spent on it—has led to an impasse.

Reed has said he thinks a deal could be reached by year end but suggested that a focus on the Georgia races—set to determine control of the Senate—is distracting his colleagues in Congress.
