Coronavirus
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Feb. 24, 2021
Tweet - "Only about 1% of the Democrats' partisan plan goes to vaccines. Only about 5% of its K-12 funding would even go out this fiscal year. Democrats are not addressing the urgent needs of a re-opening America. They started with a preconceived liberal wish-list and worked backwards."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Feb. 23, 2021
Coronavirus
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Feb. 23, 2021
Tweet - "The facts are clear: In-person schooling is essential for kids and can be safe. France and Spain have been doing it. The U.K. will have kids back in two weeks. A study from our own CDC last month found that schools can operate safely. Why won't Democrats accept the science?"

Feb. 4, 2021

Sen. Mitch McConnell
Feb. 3, 2021
Tweet - "Science has spoken and the evidence is clear: It is time to get kids back in school. Experts say that with basic precautions, risks of transmission are low. And the costs of the online-only approach for kids are very high."

Sen. Mitch McConnell
Oct. 24, 2020
Tweet - "More coronavirus resources are on the way to Kentucky. With the help of @HHSGov & @usedgov , Kentucky students & teachers will receive more than two million masks. One of the most important things we can do to protect ourselves & others is to wear a mask."

Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 10, 2020
Tweet - "Every Senate Democrat just voted against hundreds of billions of dollars of COVID-19 relief. They blocked money for schools, testing, vaccines, unemployment insurance, and the Paycheck Protection Program. Their goal is clear: No help for American families before the election."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 10, 2020
Tweet - "The Senate is voting today on COVID-19 relief. Hundreds of billions more dollars to make schools safe for kids, to keep workers getting paid, and to invest in treatments and vaccines. American families will see exactly which Senators want to send them more bipartisan help."

Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 8, 2020
Tweet - "Republicans have built yet another effort to help Americans. Money for schools. Resources for parents. Testing. Vaccines. Another round of the job-saving PPP. And more. The Senate will be voting this week. The nation will see who's serious about making law for American families."

Sen. Mitch McConnell
Aug. 10, 2020
Tweet - "Because of Democrats' obstruction, the extra federal unemployment aid expired. The PPP is closed with no second round in sight. No new money for testing or schools. No second round of checks to families. Democrats held all this hostage for non-COVID-related liberal priorities."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Aug. 5, 2020
The Hill - "A Plan to Empower Parents, Increase Education Options as an Uncertain School Year Looms"
Sen. Rand Paul
July 31, 2020
