'Lame Duck' COVID Aid Deal Unlikely: WaPo

US PRESS

Washington Post's Mike DeBonis tweets his comments on the joint press conference of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY):

  • "Pelosi & Schumer speaking jointly on Hill...Speaker starts by decrying alarming comments from Trump. But "numbers have eloquence, too"."
  • "Starts by rolling through covid and econ stats, not election returns. Schumer now calling on GOP to end "temper tantrum.", "I have a very simple message for Senate Rs. The election is over. The president lost. It wasn't close... Stop denying reality. Stop sowing doubt on the legislative process and start fighting covid. ... It's time to move on"."
  • "Long story short: Nothing Pelosi or Schumer said should make anyone optimistic about a lame duck covid deal. They continue to push Heroes Act already rejected by Senate GOP. Increasingly clear that any deal awaits GA Senate results and President Biden."
