Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has warned the White House against striking a stimulus deal with Democrats before the election, The Washington Post reported.

The newspaper cited three sources familiar with the Kentucky senator's comments at a closed-door lunch with Senate Republicans on Tuesday.

McConnell said he believed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was stringing Republicans along without intention to sign on to a broad relief package, The Post reported. He also said a deal could upend their efforts to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court next week.
