White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said he’s 'not optimistic' a deal will be reached soon
Top negotiators for a coronavirus relief bill couldn’t even agree on what they agree on Sunday, indicating that Democrats and Republicans are still a ways away from clinching a deal.
The competing comments showed how far apart House Democrats and the Trump administration are on sending a relief package to the president, even as two major federal benefits — a $600 weekly unemployment payment and an eviction moratorium — expired late last week. The White House chief of staff said he and Mnuchin have spent the last few days trying to reach a consensus to “at least start negotiating.” He characterized Saturday’s talks as “a step in the right direction.”
On CNN’s “State of the Union,” House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn told Dana Bash that while “they are in a better place today than they were the day before,” “I don’t know how close we are to a deal.” Asked what she would say to Americans who lost their unemployment benefits, Pelosi responded: “Talk to President Trump. He’s the one who’s standing in the way of that.”
