Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is set to unveil a GOP proposal this week that is facing some opposition among GOP senators and the White House.

As Congress returns from its recess, the sticking points in another pandemic relief package include unemployment benefits. Plus, here are five more things to watch this week.

The former national security adviser is reviled so equally by so many on all sides in Washington that the allegations in his new memoir may not spark the kind of response they otherwise might.

As promised, President Trump vetoed a resolution that would have limited his ability to take military action against Iran without congressional approval.

The schedule change, which followed the advice of health experts, comes as talks stalled on Republicans' push to boost funding for a small business program.

Senate Majority Leader McConnell wants another $250 billion for small businesses. Top Democrats are asking for $250 billion more for state and local governments, but the White House is pushing back.

The House speaker said the new select committee, chaired by Rep. James Clyburn, will focus on accountability and transparency in the new spending and programs to address the pandemic.

A counterproposal to the Senate's massive aid package proposal to address the coronavirus crisis, House Democrats have released a bill: the Take Responsibility for Workers and Families Act.

The bill, which still needs to be negotiated with Senate Democrats, provides direct cash payments, loan guarantees for impacted businesses and more resources for testing and development of vaccines.

The speaker was unable to get a vote late Thursday on legislation that includes paid sick leave, nutrition aid and assistance for states, including unemployment and Medicaid costs.

Democratic lawmakers rejected the chief proposal floated by President Trump to cut payroll taxes and instead offered proposals for paid sick leave, expanded unemployment aid, small business grants.

Joe Biden increased his delegate lead with the March 10 primaries, and a top Democratic super PAC concluded he's on track for the nomination. Bernie Sanders didn't say what's next for him.

Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., acknowledged he should not have used the words he did about Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh when he addressed abortion-rights activists at the high court on Wednesday.

The former vice president won handily in states around the country, including Virginia, Massachusetts, Alabama and Texas. But Bernie Sanders won delegate-rich California, plus Colorado and Utah.

The crucial win has the potential to resurrect Joe Biden's campaign after a series of poor finishes in other early voting states.

Sen. Bernie Sanders prevailed again on Saturday, according to The Associated Press. The state held the third contest in the nomination fight, but it was the first with a diverse population.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., rolled out a political action committee to help raise money for outsider candidates — some running against her own House colleagues.

The victory, projected by The Associated Press, comes in another close race with Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Ind. The two had a virtual tie in the still unsettled Iowa caucuses.

Republicans loved the made-for-television moments in President Trump's third State of the Union speech as he made his case for reelection. Democrats did not.

President Trump stunned lawmakers and guests in the House chamber when he awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh in the middle of his prime-time speech.
