Schumer, Pelosi staff to continue talks with Treasury on Thursday about interim coronavirus relief
Democrats have pushed for changes to the program and more funds to support local governments battling the pandemic. Republicans have accused the Democrats of holding up necessary money for small businesses that are hemorrhaging cash as commerce has come to a halt.
Senate Democrats last week blocked an attempt by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to rush another $250 billion in funding for the program through his chamber by a unanimous vote.
"We all want it to work. We all want to facilitate that," she said, "But we cannot do it by ossifying the lack of access to credit for smaller businesses in our country." On Wednesday, governors from Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, three notable swing states, sent a letter to President Donald Trump warning of budget shortfalls.
"In Michigan, initial estimates suggest state revenues could be reduced by $3 billion alone this year– $7 billion over the next 18 months," wrote Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
