  This is congress's way of negotiating.

  There's a high likelihood that we see a resurgence of COVID-19 this fall right around the same time that the general election is supposed to take place. Not including measures to ensure election integrity would be malpractice on the part of any who cares about the validity of the election. Also, let's be clear about "pork-barreling" here: Mitch McConnell tried twice to force through a bill that would have included a $500 billion slush-fund to be doled out by the Treasury Secretary, Steve Mnuchin, with no functional oversight. But God forbid we get early voting and vote by mail this fall.
