House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) used August’s jobs report and the relatively high 8.4 percent unemployment rate to push for more pandemic stimulus measures, coming weeks after talks between Democrats and the White House stalled.
Pelosi, Schumer, and White House officials are expected to meet for negotiations later this month when members of Congress return to Washington after their break.
