Louie Gohmert single-handedly holds up House coronavirus bill before it can be sent to Senate

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) on Monday reportedly blocked “technical corrections” to a House coronavirus relief bill that was scheduled to be sent to the Senate.

Gohmert told Bloomberg’s Laura Litvan that he didn’t know if his concerns could be resolved in time to vote on the technical corrections on Monday.

"Technical fix" is a dull-sounding name for something that has to happen before the Senate will take up the coronavirus bill. It's a change that Republicans want to see related to virus-related paid leave for employees of small businesses.

I think Republican senators may have tested positive - they don’t want that getting out so delay the house sending the bill to the Senate and the Senate will also stall the vote.
