MNI BRIEF: US Covid Relief Bill Odds Are Edging Up- Kudlow

WASHINGTON (MNI)

White House chief economic adviser Larry Kudlow said Monday "the odds are improving" that lawmakers in Washington can agree to another economic relief program before year-end.

"We are focusing on this USD900 billion Problem Solver's package," he said at a Washington Post event, seemingly distancing the White House from a USD332 billion Senate GOP proposal released last week.

While the President has not endorsed the USD908 billion bipartisan proposal unveiled last week, Kudlow said, it is "likely" Trump would sign the bipartisan plan if it clears Congress, he said.
