Speaker Nancy Pelosi signaled Friday she is done talking about a bipartisan coronavirus aid proposal put forward in the House this week that cuts hundreds of billions of dollars off of her own proposed aid package.
Pelosi dismissed a reporter’s question about the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus's coronavirus aid proposal, which would cost roughly $1.5 trillion.
The proposal, authored by 25 House Democrats and 25 of their fellow GOP lawmakers, would cost far less than the $2.2 trillion in spending that Pelosi is insisting on in stalled talks with the GOP.
“I’ve made my statement. Just go read my statement,” Pelosi tersely responded to a reporter who asked her to name “specific issues” with the measure that contribute to her opposition.
