House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said Tuesday that Democrats are not insisting on renewing the $600-per-week unemployment benefits but said the Republican proposal on Monday doesn’t go far enough.
“It’s not $600 or bust,” he told CNN. “Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi said the other day, which I thought was a great line: ‘We don’t have red lines, we have values. And we’re going into these negotiations with values.’”
