House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Saturday rejected the latest, $1.8 trillion dollar pandemic relief offer from the White House, saying it doesn’t provide enough funding to testing, worker safety, and child care.

In a letter to Democratic colleagues posted online, Pelosi alleged that the proposal is “one step forward, two steps back.”
