House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Friday that a fifth COVID-19 relief bill would soon be ready and called on Republicans to agree to longstanding Democrat demands that the next package must include aid to states and local governments.
“There will not be a bill” without such aid, Pelosi said during a press conference. While she did not specify her expectations for the price tag of the next bill, she said it would be “expensive.”
