Vulnerable Republicans have a clear message for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell: no deal, no recess.

With talks between the White House and Democratic leadership at an impasse, Senate Republicans up in November are pressing for the chamber to stay in session until some agreement is reached.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), who faces a potentially competitive re-election challenge, said that it would “look like a dereliction of duty” for the Senate to go home without clinching a deal as millions of Americans face economic catastrophe.

“The COVID-19 response is going to be an important part of the 2020 election. It’s obviously not going away,” he added. “It will be a looming factor.”

1. Wait a minute!

Cornyn said, "It's obviously not going away."

But Trump said, "This thing’s going away. It will go away like things go away."

So, Republicans: Which is it?
