Donald Trump's chief of staff said Tuesday he is optimistic that Republicans and Democrats in Congress will reach agreement on a new pandemic emergency aid bill before the November 3 election.
However, Mark Meadows told Fox Business the president continues to oppose the massive aid to state and local governments that Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is pushing for to help recover from the coronavirus crisis.
"I'm more optimistic perhaps today than I've been in a long time," Meadows said. "I can tell you that there's more that we agree upon than what we disagree upon, and I think it's time that we put politics aside, pass this stimulus."
The world's largest economy is facing the world's worst Covid-19 outbreak, with the death toll just shy of 190,000.

That's eight weeks away. Plenty of time to diddle and dawdle.
Pretty telling that the Republicans are okay with bailing out corporations but not local governments.

(3,265 posts)he wants to wait until the election and only give the stimulus if he WINS! I think he wants them to wait because he doesnt want to help us beforehand if we arent going to vote for him, and wont give it at all if he loses!
