White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett stated that a new emergency relief bill that provides funding to state and local governments won’t be passed soon.
“I think that it’s just premature, given that the $9 trillion of aid that passed in the last three phases, given that that is still out there and there’s still a bunch of it that’s going to be delivered over the next month, we think we have the luxury of a moment to learn about what’s going on so the next step we take can be prudent,” Hassett told CNN on Sunday.
