New York GOP Rep. Tom Reed, who had already opted not to run for reelection this fall, resigned his seat Tuesday, saying on the House floor he hoped “to have a greater impact on the country.” He will join Prime Policy Group, a lobbying firm, his office said in a news release. Reed was accused in March 2021 of sexual misconduct by a lobbyist. He apologized for his behavior, said he had received treatment for alcoholism and would not seek a seventh full term.
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., started Wednesday’s Senate session by announcing that he would support a coronavirus response bill championed by Democrats and passed by the House despite “imperfections” in the bill. “This is a time for urgent bipartisan action, and in this case, I do not believe we should let perfection be the enemy of something that will help even a subset of workers,” McConnell said.
