The top U.S. House of Representatives Republican said on Sunday that a fourth economic stimulus package to try to curb the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic would be premature and may not even be necessary.
"I'm not sure we need a fourth package," House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told the Fox News program "Sunday Morning Futures," noting he wants to see the first three packages totaling more than $2 trillion take effect first. Illustrating the continuing tensions between the two parties in Congress, he added that he fears House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, would try to use a fourth package to insert a political wish-list of items.
