a.) Find another leverage against McConnell and Senate Republicans
b.) Take McConnells offer on the combined bill of $2000 checks and Trump wishlist items
This is precisely why Sanders & Markey wanted to hold it up as leverage.
Dem leadership better have a Plan B if they are serious about helping people.
