WASHINGTON—Congressional Democratic leaders on Nov. 12 demanded action on a stimulus deal amid a growing intra-party fight between progressive and more moderate Democrats after losing seats to Republicans in the House.

In a joint press conference with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) urged Republicans in Congress to “stop the circus” about the election results and start focusing on the COVID-19 response.
