Talks Thursday between Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin brought no immediate breakthrough on a deal for a new pandemic relief package, while the House prepared to vote on a Democrat-only plan.
Pelosi told reporters that she had spoken with Mnuchin a number of times during the day by phone and that she didn’t expect an agreement Thursday night. She said she would review documents the Treasury chief had sent her to determine next steps. She also said they are wranging over “language” of any agreement.
