'We've got to meet halfway. We've got to do the best we can for the American people. But what they're putting forth does not meet that standard,' House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said.
Democratic congressional leaders and White House officials said Sunday they are willing to continue negotiations to reach an agreement on a new coronavirus stimulus package to take the place of the"We have to reach an agreement," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on"Fox News Sunday."
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said on ABC News'"This Week" that Trump's executive orders are"unworkable, weak, and far too narrow." He hopes "Republicans who hung their hat on these executive orders will now be forced" by the economy and the pandemic to"come to the table, accept our compromise to meet in the middle, and come up with an agreement.
Pelosi and Schumer said there were many shortcomings to Trump's orders. Among their strongest objections were the reduction in weekly federal unemployment benefits from $600 to $400 and language in the executive order that leaves the states responsible for paying for 25% of the benefit. They argued that states' budgets are already strained because of the pandemic and that they don't have the money to cover the 25%.
"How do you justify tens of billions of dollars to feed the hungry to $250,000," Pelosi said of the difference between the Democratic and Republican bills."You understand how far apart we are. just by that example." White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said on NBC News'"Meet the Press" that it was"unfortunate that these negotiations to date have failed" and that"it should be easier than it is" to reach a deal.
"It doesn't help when Speaker Pelosi goes out after every day with her scarfs flying and just beats the heck out of us for being cruel people," he said, saying Democrats had violated"the cardinal rule in negotiations," which "is you don't do them on TV.""If Congress solves the problem, there's no need for the president to take executive action," he said."We'll see what we get.
