White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, speaks to reporters at the Capitol, Thursday, July 23, 2020, in Washington.White House officials have shown a new sense of urgency after weeks of delay, with Meadows pitching a piecemeal approach that might speed some benefits -- like those for the jobless -- that are about to expire, while not addressing others, like the moratorium on evictions that expired this weekend.
