House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Democrats and the White House moving closer to a COVID-19 stimulus package deal as it moves closer to a self-imposed 48-hour deadline that ends on Tuesday.
Pelosi told reporters Tuesday that the deadline isn’t as important as was earlier suggested, saying that negotiations would persist. If Congress wants to pass legislation on the package before Election Day, the bill would have to be ready by the end of the week, she said.
