House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Tuesday that congressional Democrats are now willing to cut their COVID-19 relief bill in half to come to an agreement with Republicans and the White House.
“We have to try to come to that agreement now,” Pelosi said in an interview with Politico. “We’re willing to cut our bill in half to meet the needs right now. We‘ll take it up again in January. We’ll see them again in January. But for now, we can cut the bill in half.”
