The Trump administration has increased its COVID-19 stimulus offer in an attempt to make a deal with House Democrats before the election, White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said.
“We’ve increased our offer up to almost $1.9 trillion,” Meadows told reporters on Oct. 19 near the White House. “[The president] is willing to give some additional money in terms of direct payments, he’s willing to give some additional money in terms of [small business loans] to restaurants and hotels and small businesses.”
