House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) again called for the passage of the $600 expanded federal unemployment insurance while saying that the COVID-19 pandemic needs to first subside to again open the U.S. economy.

“We have been for the $600, [Republicans] have a $200 proposal, which does not meet the needs of America’s working families,” she said on ABC News’ “This Week” on Sunday. “The idea that they made a proposal is really not actually factual,” she added.
