House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she believes the White House and Congress will come to an agreement this month to avoid a government shutdown, suggesting the deal won’t be tied to COVID-19 relief talks.
“We'll come to agreement on that, I feel quite certain,” Pelosi said during an interview on Bloomberg TV on Sept. 8. “I think that it’s not in anybody’s interest for the government to be shut down. It is to be avoided at all costs.”
