McConnell, a Republican, speaking to reporters said there is “zero chance” that America can get back to normal without new liability protections, and not just for businesses. He also said he opposed "non-germane" amendments to coronavirus relief legislation, including a provision to fund a new FBI building, and hoped they would be dropped by the end of the legislative process.
