Waiting for the Speaker, just got word Sen. Chuck Schumer will be joining for Speaker Pelosi’s weekly briefing today #NexstarDC

“The delay and the denial have caused deaths.” -Speaker Pelosi on the #Coronavirus growth since the outbreak began #NexstarDC

Schumer says Republican effort to come up with a #Covid_19 stimulus package un-unified, unserious #NexstarDC

Schumer -Republicans have made Corporate immunity the centerpiece of their #Covid_19 relief package #NexstarDC

Speaker Pelosi and Leader Schumer both say Democrats will stick to $600 weekly unemployment bonus. Republicans have proposed significantly less, some have suggested $100-$200 monthly for out of work Americans #NexstarDC

GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy focuses solely on China right out the gate. Critical of Dems for not being more outspoken on China’s role in spreading virus. He hasnt talked about #Coronavirus stimulus negotiations yet, or where Republicans are on their version. #NexstarDC

.@GOPLeader says no specific timeline on a Republican #coronavirus stimulus bill, says its too large and important, worth taking more time to get a good pkg done. #NexstarDC

Here are @SpeakerPelosi and @SenSchumer on keeping the #Covid_19 unemployment benefit at $600 per week for out-of-work Americans. #NexstarDC

.@GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy says a delay in a Republican #stimuluspackage over intraparty disagreements is worth it if the final product is a bill that's done correctly. #NexstarDC
