Just a day after Republican Sen. Mitt Romney<\/a> and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer<\/a> announced a deal on billions for therapeutics, vaccines and testing, GOP senators threw in a wrench that could mean Congress will break with nothing.

“The impasse could stall for weeks what Biden called much-needed coronavirus aid, unless senators can reach a deal before they plan to leave on Thursday or Friday.

“Democrats already think they\u2019ve conceded plenty to the Republicans after Monday\u2019s bipartisan agreement left out global vaccine funding. So there\u2019s not a ton of enthusiasm for giving Republicans their immigration vote.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
