 Republican senators are piecing together an additional coronavirus aid package to counter House Democrats' phase-4 aid proposal.The GOP bill in its current form will provide an additional $1.3 trillion in economic aid to U.S. taxpayers and businesses, CNN reported on Wednesday evening. House Democrats have already proposed their own $3 trillion aid package, however Senate Republicans have pushed back on the high price tag."It won't be $3 trillion. That bill is not going anywhere," Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) said on Wednesday. The GOP proposal will likely include aid to schools, hospitals, and businesses, along with liability protections for companies.The Republican caucus has urged caution when passing additional aid packages, preferring to study the effects of previous legislation to make sure the aid is effective in keeping the U.S. economy afloat. McConnell said that talks with Democrats on a new round of aid would be more difficult "because of the proximity to the election.""It is unclear to me right now how we will resolve several contentious issues," Senator Chris Coons (D., Conn.) told CNN, echoing McConnell. "It's going to be a rough road. There are a lot of competing interests. A lot."House Democrats may also piece together an infrastructure spending bill to offset some of the economic effects of the pandemic.

 President Donald Trump threatened to "cut off funding" to schools that don't reopen amidst the coronavirus pandemic on Wednesday. And his Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is right there with him. On Fox News Wednesday afternoon, host Neil Cavuto repeatedly pressed DeVos on the administration's official "schools must open" policy. But she didn't budge, dismissing the risks to not only school children but especially to teachers and their families. "There's nothing in the data that suggests that it would not be appropriate to have kids in school," DeVos claimed. "And while there may be spikes in certain areas and certain communities, those are exceptions to the rule. The rule should be that kids need to be back in school. It's important for their health across the board."DeVos told Cavuto that the administration was "strongly urging" governors to reopen schools in the fall, the host explained to her that "you're doing more than that." "The president is threatening aid to those that don't. What do you think of that?" Cavuto asked. When DeVos said that schools that don't reopen are breaking a "promise" to families in their communities, the host interrupted her to say, "But there are extenuating circumstances, right?" Smiling, he added, "There was this little thing called the coronavirus." An increasingly flustered DeVos kept pushing for schools to reopen regardless, ignoring the health implications.
