Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) the Democrat-controlled House on Wednesday for taking a monthlong recess despite not reaching a deal with Republicans on a new COVID-19 stimulus package. During a Facebook Live town hall with his constituents, Khanna said, "I think Congress should be in session. I think it's absurd for Congress to be going on a break during a pandemic and a national crisis." "I don't think this is a smart move to recess and I agree with you," Khanna told one constituent with questions, according to Fox News. "I share your frustration."The House last took votes on the coronavirus stimulus package on July 31. A new vote is not expected to be taken until at least the week of Sept. 14 as Congress is currently in its annual August recess. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Sen. Chuck Schumer, (D-N.Y.) were in talks with President Donald Trump and his administration over the last several weeks in order to strike a new stimulus deal.
