Pelosi interview
  • Upbeat talk from Pelosi
  • They have come a long way, I have to admit
  • Hopefully by the end of the day, we will know where they are
  • We are starting to write the bill
  • State and local money along with business liability are the two sticking points
  • Pelosi says Democrats will "have language countering what they have in the bill" on those two subjects
  • I'm very concerned on what they're doing on the census
  • This isn't the day we would have a deal, this is the day we would have our terms on the table. These things take time
  • We want a child tax credit
  • Talks could continue if we don't get a bill before the election
  • Testing was a big improvement over the weekend
