Pelosi Praises Plan as 'Closer' to Workers

The coronavirus rescue bill “has moved a great deal closer to America’s workers” after negotiations with Democrats, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a statement Wednesday morning.

“House Democrats will now review the final provisions and legislative text of the agreement to determine a course of action,” the California Demcrat added.

She had said Tuesday that she hoped the House would be able to pass a Senate measure by voice vote without having to bring members to Washington. That is only an option if no House member objects.
