The Senate's top leader says Congress needs to tend to unemployment insurance funds supporting millions thrown out of work by the coronavirus pandemic. But Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says there are limits to the scope of federal aid to help heal the damaged economy.

McConnell spoke at length about prospects for another round of coronavirus relief passing the Senate.
