House To Stay In Session Until COVID Relief Deal Done, Pelosi Says

Despite the pledge from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, there are no other signs of progress in stalemated negotiations between Democratic leaders and the White House over the next stimulus package.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday the House will stay in session until a breakthrough is made on a coronavirus stimulus bill, while moderate lawmakers pressed leaders to come up with a relief deal before the November elections. "We are committed to staying here until we have an agreement, an agreement that meets the needs of the American people,鈥 Pelosi said on CNBC Tuesday. Her words signaled relief talks between congressional Democrats and President Donald Trump's White House may be salvaged even though the two sides don't appear any closer to an agreement. 聽(Hayes, Wu and King, 9/15)

Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday heeded a call from her members to commit to keeping the House in session until there鈥檚 a coronavirus relief deal, but the vow does little to break the stalemate in bipartisan negotiations that is at the heart of Democrats鈥 concerns. House Democrats have been fretting privately for weeks and more publicly since returning to Washington on Monday about being sent home to voters without any additional COVID-19 assistance enacted. (McPherson, 9/15)

In related news 鈥

With only 11 legislative days scheduled before the November election, House Democrats are fretting about the possibility of going home to voters without any additional COVID-19 assistance enacted into law. The concerns are more about wanting to get aid into the pockets of struggling Americans as soon as possible than the optics of not securing relief before voters head to the polls, but the latter is starting to weigh on some members as hopes of a bipartisan deal have faded over the past month. (McPerson, 9/15)

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Tuesday sought to heighten the pressure on Republicans to move a new round of coronavirus relief, announcing that the House will return to the Capitol next month to vote on another aid package if a bipartisan agreement is struck before the elections.聽Pelosi stopped short of promising a House vote on a new emergency stimulus proposal before the chamber recesses at the end of September 鈥 a tactic endorsed by a growing number of moderate Democrats concerned about the political optics of leaving Washington without acting to address the health and economic fallout of the deadly pandemic. (Lillis and Wong, 9/15)

Speaker Nancy Pelosi faces growing calls from within her own ranks 鈥 including from some of her most vulnerable members 鈥 to take quick action on a coronavirus relief bill even if there鈥檚 no agreement with Republicans or the White House over the issue. But Pelosi, supported by her leadership team and most committee chairs, is refusing to back down from her demands for a bipartisan $2.2 trillion-plus stimulus package to boost the U.S. economy, which Republicans have repeatedly dismissed. (Caygle, Ferris and Bresnahan, 9/15)
