WASHINGTON - One of the White House’s lead negotiators in talks with congressional Democrats on a new round of coronavirus relief and some Senate Republicans said they viewed Friday as the deadline to reach a deal or drop talks.
“I’ve become extremely doubtful that we will be able to make a deal if it goes well beyond Friday,” Meadows said before the sides met on Wednesday. “Just because we’ve been spending so much time together, if you’re not making progress, there’s no sense to continue.” In the meantime, Republican President Donald Trump said he was still considering unilateral action to stimulate the economy by allowing taxpayers to defer payroll tax payments - a proposal that has gained no traction among lawmakers of either party.
Asked if his party would be open to more postal funding, Blunt said, “Sure.” But he demurred when asked about how much, saying, “I don’t know, but I think there’d be an openness to that.” Despite some progress in coronavirus legislation talks, both sides remain far apart on a range of issues. McConnell, the chamber’s top Republican, who has not joined the negotiations, did not draw as hard a line as Mnuchin or some fellow Republican Senators.
