Pelosi 'Hopeful' On COVID-19 Stimulus Bill, But Still 'Miles To Go'

US

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi talking to MSNBC presently (link for US: https://www.msnbc.com/live), says she is 'hopeful' for a COVID-19 stimulus bill being passed, but that there are 'miles to go' in talks.

  • Pelosi: "We've worked our way through this. There were some other differences [...] we put pen to paper, we're writing the bill."
  • "We could do that [get a bill agreed] before the election if the president wants to"
  • "The President is delusional when he says we've turned a corner on this. We haven't. We have miles to go,"
  • Statements of 'hope' for a deal have come from Congressional Democrats, Republicans, and the White House in recent days, but there seems to be precious little actual progress being made given each side remains far apart on the monetary sums required to get a deal over the line.
