Coronavirus stimulus chatter starting to heat up
An aide for Speaker of the house Pelosi is on the wires saying that she has not heard back from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on stimulus.
Meanwhile, Republican Sen. Graham is on the wires saying that:
- he thinks stimulus needed in excess of $500 billion
- stimulus has to be meaningful
Recall that before the election, Pelosi was searching for a stimulus above $2 trillion. Senate Republicans led by Mitch McConnell offered 500 billion. Pres. Trump in an effort to sway voters said that he would look for a stimulus deal larger than the Dems proposal. Pres. Trump has been largely quiet on stimulus post election.
