House leaders postponed a vote on a Democrat-only stimulus bill to give Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi one more day to negotiate a compromise pandemic relief package.
Mnuchin and Pelosi met for about 90 minutes Wednesday without striking a deal. But both said afterward they had made progress and planned to continue discussions. Speaking on Fox Business late Wednesday, Mnuchin said he sees an agreement costing between $1.5 trillion and $2.2 trillion.
