Pelosi rejects Democrat push for ‘stimulus vote’

Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected calls from some House Democratic moderates to hold a
vote on a new, smaller stimulus bill and doubled down on her push to get the White House to agree to a $2.2 trillion package.
The House last moved on coronavirus relief in May — passing the $3.4 trillion Heroes Act that died in the Senate — and members of the moderate New Democrat Coalition have privately pushed for a vote on a bill reflecting a $2.2 trillion offer Pelosi has made to the White House.
“What we want is to put something on the floor that will become law,” Pelosi said on MSNBC on Wednesday. She said some members want her to agree to a re-vote on the Heroes Act to stand firm, something she also rejected.
White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said on Wednesday that President Donald Trump wants to get a stimulus deal and it is Pelosi who has been “fundamentally unserious.”
