Nancy Pelosi says Democrats will unveil economic stimulus legislation in response to the coronavirus pandemic that differs from a Senate bill.
said her caucus would unveil legislation Monday "that takes responsibility for the health, wages and well-being of America's workers." It would include, according to a statement from the California Democrat:
Language urging President Donald Trump to invoke the Defense Production Act to manufacture more health care supplies.More funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and other food assistance programs. The legislation may serve more as a statement of principles for Democrats: Senate Republicans already supported a law to expand paid leave and unemployment insurance that originated with Democrats over the objections of many GOP members. Still, it underscores the gulf between the professed priorities of both parties as workers and companies desperately seek relief.
Congress has rushed to approve a relief plan as the global pandemic overwhelms health care resources, wreaks havoc on the U.S. economy and forces widespread layoffs. Compounding the urgency, two House members and one senator have tested positive for COVID-19, forcing other lawmakers to quarantine and consider the prospect of voting remotely.
