WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday he will attempt to swiftly pass additional funding for small businesses to keep making payroll during the coronavirus crisis. The Republican leader said he would move this week to supplement the $350 billion approved for companies in the just-passed $2.2 trillion rescue package. The so-called Paycheck Protection Program “may run dry” without it, he said. Jamming the aid through without a full vote when Congress is all but shuttered during the crisis threatens the fragile political consensus as lawmakers trying to build another broad aid package. The action is set for Thursday.
