Republicans are willing to support a stimulus package that costs more than the $618 billion package they proposed on Feb. 1, but the White House is not willing to come down from $1.9 trillion, Republican senators said Tuesday.
“We are looking at amendments but they pretty much stalled. The administration has not indicated a willingness to come down from its $1.9 trillion figure and that’s a major obstacle,” Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) told reporters at the U.S. Capitol in Washington.
