Trump Signs Bill for Sick Leave, Free Testing

McConnell stated that he has created three task forces among Senate Republicans to come up with the next bill.

The Hill reported Wednesday, however, that negotiations over a third bill have hit a snag.

"Republicans disagree over fundamental questions such as whether to make direct payments to Americans who miss paychecks because of the crisis or to all adults in a bid to boost the economy more generally," The Hill reported.

Republicans are "also split on whether economic aid should be delivered primarily through unemployment benefits for workers who miss time or lose their jobs or whether economic aid should go directly to businesses in the form of loans or payroll tax reductions," The Hill reported.

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin stated during a Tuesday media briefing that while President Donald Trump "likes the idea of payroll tax holiday … we're looking at sending checks to Americans immediately. Americans needs cash now, in the next two weeks."

How much? "I'll be previewing that with Republicans. There are some numbers out there; they may be a little bit bigger than what's in the press," Mnuchin said.
