I think this bill getting voted on now is only because McConnell thought he needed it to try to save his GOP senators running in Georgia so he could keep control of the Senate. He's waited for almost a year and would not have passed anything if he didn't think he needed to. He squeezed as much from the Democrats that he could to give the minimal amount.

Could be true. I am not so sure any of us understand McConnell's motives because he has been such a Trump apologist no matter what contradictions and policy gyrations were necessary to do so. I for one hope he finally saw the handwriting on the wall and decided to actually attempt to be part of the solution. He did have to worry about what he actually could pass in the Senate, so it wasn't just his decision

He assumed Trump would sign it. He was wrong.

Yep, and that makes him a fool (if there was any doubt). His job is to leave nothing to chance. Everett Dirksen he is not.

McConnell shows he doesn't care for the American people. He's willing to let them die from COVID and hunger or to lose their home by not passing a bill to help them.

In point of fact, he did pass a bill to help them. It may not be the bill you want, and it may be later than you want, but he did pass it. Whether he cares about the American people is a different question, but he did pass a bill.
