Utah Senator Mitt Romney said, "People who are doing the negotiating need to be working around the clock to get it done."After the luncheon, Senator John Cornyn said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had told Republicans to be prepared to stay in session until White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin have reached a deal with Democrats."Meadows and Mnuchin said that the Democrats still do not appear to be serious about reaching a negotiated outcome, and so we're prepared to be in session until we get one," Cornyn said.Republicans have complained that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer have refused to consider passing a smaller bill that would offer temporary solutions, like the short-term extension of a popular unemployment benefit that expired at the end of July.
