This one is hard to understand because the GOP Senate(using McConnell as the rep) has already mocked Trump for his personal views on CV AND now its warning TRUMP to not enter into a deal with Pelosi, giving Pelosi all the high ground and setting up a big talking point for Dem Senate challengers.
"McConnell warns White House against making stimulus deal as Pelosi and Mnuchin inch closer"
In other words, McConnell thinks its in the interest of the GOP to REFUSE any deal, to, in essence, abandon the President's last ditch effort to save himself?
McConnell views a deal as a threat TO HIS LEADERSHIP?
"In remarks at a closed-door Senate GOP lunch, McConnell told his colleagues that Pelosi (D-Calif.) is not negotiating in good faith with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, and that any deal they reach could disrupt the Senate’s plans to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court next week. Republicans have voiced concerns that a stimulus deal could splinter the party and exacerbate divisions at a time when they are trying to rally behind the Supreme Court nominee."
Trump says he will bring McConnell along, so maybe its all "briar patch" for Trump to claim victory lol
"Asked about McConnell’s reluctance to the stimulus, Trump said on Tuesday morning: “He’ll be onboard if something comes. … Not every Republican agrees with me, but they will.”
