Exclusive: McConnell defends crafting $1 trillion stimulus plan without Democrats
Washington (CNN)Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday defended the Senate Republicans coming up with a proposed $1 trillion economic stimulus plan to battle the coronavirus without any input from Democrats, saying bipartisan negotiations were skipped in favor of speed.
