Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) gave perhaps his strongest signal yet for another pandemic relief spending package, saying that Congress will deliberate on the details in the coming weeks.

“I believe there will be one,” he told reporters in Kentucky, referring to another piece of legislation. “We will be taking a look at— in the Senate in a couple of weeks—another package based on the conditions that we confront today,” the GOP leader said.
