Incentive Package Hopes Shelved Until Election

Incentive Package Hopes Shelved Until Election The hopes of the incentive package that had occupied the agenda of the USA for a long time were shelved until the election. The fact that the US Senate will not hold a session in the near future due to the Presidential election to be held on November 3, makes it less likely that the incentive package, which continues to be negotiated between Republicans and Democrats, will come before Donald Trump for signature. Hopes for the stimulus package, which is planned to be implemented to provide financial support to citizens in the USA, which is most affected by the coronavirus epidemic, will remain on hold until the Presidential elections to be held on November 3. The reason for this is that US senators will leave the US Capitol for the pre-election holiday. US Senate Banking Committee Chairman Richard Shelby said, "We will be back in November. The question is, will something happen next?" Referring to the election day, Shelby said the stimulus package is unlikely to pass before that date. The dissolution of the Senate after the US Senate voted to approve the call of Amy Coney Barret, who was nominated by US President Donald Trump as a Supreme Court judge, caused the ongoing stimulus package talks between US House Spokesperson Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to remain at the negotiation stage. . After the last call on Monday, the Trump administration's agreement to be $ 1.9 trillion and the Democrats to $ 2.4 trillion remained on hold in terms of both amounts.
