Next step is really for the White House to sit down with Democrats, and discuss their asks and negotiate, said a Senate GOP aide. This is the legislative process. If they have suggestions, then now they need to negotiate.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) likewise shifted decision-making to the White House when asked Sunday about the bipartisan bill from Alexander and Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.).
If there's a need for some kind of interim step here to stabilize the market, we need a bill the president will actually sign, McConnell said on CNN. And I'm not certain yet what the president is looking for here, but I will be happy to bring a bill to the floor if I know President Trump would sign it.
Democrats, though, are pushing back on the idea of additional talks, saying they already negotiated a fair deal.
