Pelosi to House Democrats on Admin's COVID-19 relief offer:"On Friday,Trump Admin returned to the table with a proposal that attempted to address some of the concerns Democrats have in the coronavirus relief negotiations.This proposal amounted to one step forward,two steps back."

Pelosi: "When the President talks abt wanting a bigger relief package,his proposal appears to mean that he wants more money at his discretion to grant or withhold,rather than agreeing on language prescribing how we honor our workers,crush the virus & put $ in pockets of workers."

Pelosi: "At this point, we still have disagreement on many priorities, and Democrats are awaiting language from the Administration on several provisions as the negotiations on the overall funding amount continue." speaker.gov/newsroom/101020

Pelosi on COVID-19 relief talks: "When the President did his tweet, that one that said that he was walking away, I think he surprised a lot of people. I do not want to go into who they are now, but it was a disservice to the discussion that we were having in good faith."

Pelosi on details of COVID-19 relief talks: "When I talked to the Administration most recently last evening, I said, you've still haven't given us a response to the language after all this time. They admitted that."

Pelosi on COVID-19 relief legislation: "Let me just be really clear. I have been very open to having a standalone bill for the airlines or part of a bigger bill, but there is no standalone bill without a bigger bill. There is no bill."
