The call will take place at 2:30 p. m. , resources said on Capitol Hill and the White House. It will be the first time Pelosi will talk to White House negotiators about a pandemic program since August 7.
But both sides are far away: House Democrats approved a massive $3. 4 trillion package for the coronavirus in May, but rejected it through Republicans in the White House and Senate. U. S. Postal Service, however, Meadows is pushing for an even thinner bill.
Meadows has been looking to restart conversations with Pelosi for several days. Last weekend, after a meeting with base lawmakers on Capitol Hill, Meadows went to the president’s workplace and tried to meet her, but was told she was busy.
Meadows, who performed on a Political occasion on Wednesday, said he had asked his staff to continue contacting Pelosi this week. These efforts have been worth it, but Meadows said he is “not optimistic” about reaching an agreement.
He said he believes Pelosi will “hold until the end of September” so he can link the stimulus package to an invoice that is essential for the government’s closure before the election.
Pelosi said Democrats were willing to cut the value of their $1 trillion package if Republicans agreed to build their $1 trillion package.
But the president downplayed the phone call planned at a news convention on Thursday, saying it simply changed Meadows’ call and that it could be a “very brief verbal exchange if they’re not in a position to meet in the middle. “
“They’ll have to move. Why is there a bill that understands much less than the public wants?We have that responsibility, and they will simply have to locate more cash,” Pelosi told reporters. We want an avalanche of cash for this. We have a pandemic and the economic consequences, time and time again, of today’s bad unemployment figures.
“And they come with a pipette. “
Pelosi also spoke as if he had forgotten Meadows’ call at one point – “What’s your call?He asked reporters – then called who” recruits “the White House’s most sensible negotiator on the coronavirus, Treasury Secretary Steven MnuchinSteven Terner MnuchinDemonios shake COVID – 19 relief in the middle of the division, Trump surprises American Airlines, unions call for six months of Trump’s government’s aid cuts to the Republican Party , asks for a larger aid program at COVID-19 MORE.
